To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the other hand, if the soft strata are saturated with 15 water, they will be incompressible. Settlement will then be impos- sible, unless the material can escape laterally or both laterally and vertically. If the whole of a large area is loaded, bdth of these things may be prevented, and the load will be carried on the same principle as the pressure on the piston of a hydraulic jack. The condition is one of unstable equilibrium, however, and is not by any means desirable. Strata that are sof...t and filled with water, act partly like liquids and partly like solids. If they are loaded vertically, and can not yield laterally, they may bulge up around the loaded area, causing settlement of the latter. This can be prevented by properly loading the areas likely to bulge up; but just what load per square foot will be required and how much of the adjacent area must be loaded would be difficult to determine in any case, and must be largely a matter of judgment and experience. In testing soils, it should be remembered that when only a small area at the surface is tested, the pier or post used for applying the load will often have a sort of punching effect and begin to settle under unit loads which would be perfectly safe over large areas.
