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.

1) A dry rock weighs 240 grams and has a bulk density of 2.5 grams per cubic centimeter. Whensaturated with pure water at room temperature (T = 25 °C), it weighs 255 grams. At room temperature,specific volume of water is 1.00295E-03 m3/kg. Calculate the porosity of the sample. 2) A cylindrical core sample of 1.5 cm length and 1.2 cm2cross-section has upstream and downstreampressures of 2 atm and 1.25 atm, respectively, during steady state flow of water at 1.00 g/s at roomtemperature. Calculate the permeability of the core. (Water @ 25 °C, viscosity = 1 cp, density of water = 0.997 g/cm3).
