    Dyskusja i kalibracja hipotezy Meyerhofa
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Brząkała, Włodzimierz; Blanc, Julien
    The Meyerhof hypothesis deals with the bearing capacity of eccentrically loaded shallow foundations. It uses an effective foundation width thus addresses the bearing capacity calculation to the one for centrally loaded strip foundations of the reduced width. Testing elasto-plastic analyses based on the PLAXIS(R) code confirm good accuracy of such a simplification. In the second part, the paper focuses on partial safety factors proposed by the Eurocode EC7. A special attention is also paid to the role of random eccentricity. Making use of the Hasofer-Lind calibration, it is found that the values of partial safety factors proposed by EC7 are reasonable.
