Concept explainers

Calculation of Settlement

The vertical displacement of the structural foundation due to the loading from the superstructure is known as settlement. It is due to the reduction of air voids present in the soil. The amount of vertical displacement depends on the bearing capacity of the soil on which the foundation is laid. The effect of the settlement depends on the magnitude of settlement, uniformity, and the structural design of the structure. The maximum allowable settlement for residential and office buildings should be less than 18 mm, for industrial buildings, it is 38 mm and for commercial buildings, it is 25 mm.

A 5 m thick saturated soil stratum has a compression index of 0.25 and coefficient of permeability 3.2*10^(-3) mm/sec. If the void ratio is 1.9 at vertical stress of 0.15 N/ mm^2, compute the void ratio when the vertical stress is increased to 0.2 N/mm^2. Also calculate settlement due to above stress increase and time required for 50% consolidation?
A 3m deep sand layer has a specific gravity of 2.68 and a void ratioof 0.60. Under this layer is a 2.5m deep clay profile with a specific gravity of 2.7 and a moisture content of 30%. The water table is observed at 1m below the ground surface. Determine the compression index of a normally consolidated clay after the surcharge of 75kPa. Clay is observed to have a void ratio of 0.40 after the surcharge. (Assume unit weight of soil profile above the clay layer is the same when the soil was not subjected to surcharge load).
