From the compaction test of clay, diameter diameter 50 mm. 25 mm high, which is saturated with water, gets the reading result. The collapse values are as follows (the weigh of the dry soil sample is 110 g. The specific gravity is 2.73). Write a graph of the relationship e - log p and find the highest historical peak pressure.

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.
