Abstract This paper presents the results of an investigation into the mechanism of sinkage of running gear on sand. The results indicate that the main reasons for the sinkage on sand are its special mechanical properties as well as the spatial strength characteristics of the sand near the surface of the ground. Sinkage on sand is greatly influenced by the mode of interaction. The “flow confining” action of the running gear could change the flow of sand. If the lateral and upward components of displacement are decreased, the bearing capacity of the sand is increased.
