Mr. Levent, I found the article on this subject in ismail brain Re: Negative Ground Stress Message by Ismail Hakki Besler » 19 May 2019, 02:49 In the combination of negative ground tension, if the maximum positive stress value is half or less of the ground bearing strength, you do not need to deal with negative stress. . Also (negative stresses area/total raft area) <0.20 you don't need to bother. The values I have given are very rough values. Negative stresses should be reviewed and evaluated by the engineer. If the ground stresses due to vertical loading are not abnormally asymmetrical, you can ignore negative stress at all. If vertical loads create abnormal asymmetric stress, it is a more important issue to first make the load-bearing system of your structure symmetrically balanced and correctly arranged in terms of vertical loads. In general, negative tension exists in a 0.9 load combination. When we talked to Mr. Emrah, look at the values in the 0.9 load combination. He said that if it is below half of the carrying capacity, it would not be a problem, if I remember correctly, but positivity and negativity were not talked about much thanks ismail in the brain article ''' Negative ground tension came out If the maximum positive stress value in the combination is half or less of the ground bearing strength, you do not need to deal with negative tension '' With this statement, he explained many situations, generally in the 0.9 load combination (in the combination where the negative stress occurs) MAXIMUM POSITIVE If the STRESS VALUE is half or less of the soil bearing capacity , it usually comes out less than half , but he mentioned positive values , so negativity will not be a problem .
