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 normally consolidated clay layer 4.38 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.06. Liquid limit is equal to 37 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 117 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 138 KPa. Use Cs = 1/6Cc.
