Method for evaluation of bearing capacity of partially saturated soils was developed; effects of cohesion and angle of internal friction with respect to effective stresses, pore pressure coefficients, coefficient of degree of saturation of soil, coefficient of lateral earth pressure at rest, and location of initial groundwater table were investigated; method is based on assumption that rate of loading of subgrade soil caused by moving traffic loads is rapid enough that no or very small changes in moisture content of subgrade soil take place during loading.
