Abstract

The soil-structure interaction is the crucial part of stability of all buildings. Understanding this problematic has a huge impact on structure design. Experimental testing is an opportunity for better understanding of soil- foundation behaviour. Faculty of Civil Engineering of Ostrava in the Czech Republic made series of test of flat slabs for this purpose. This article focuses on two fibre-reinforced slabs C25/30 with dimension 2000 x 2000 x 150 mm with the fibre content of 25kg/m3. Both slabs were located on the same subsoil and loaded by the force load in the steps until the maximum bearing capacity reached. First slab was loaded by the centric force but the second one was loaded with a 400 mm eccentricity. Deformation of the top surface of the slab were measured in several points during the test. Deformation of both slabs were compared in the middle cross-section.
