摘要：
An integral formula for symmetric functions of curvature ofdistributions on closed constant nonnegative sectional curvature spacesis proved. The distributions under consideration are orthogonal to atotally geodesic foliation and the main theorem extends a previousresult concerning the total curvature of codimension-one foliations.
