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.

4. Calculate the total settlement of two clay layers? The two clay samples at Location A and Location B were collected and analyzed. Use information at Location A to estimate the settlement at the stiffy silty clay. Use information at Location B to estimate the settlement at the very stiff clay. Compression index C, at point A is 0.25, C, at point B is 0.2. Swelling index C, at point A is 0.08, C, at point B is 0.06. Initial void ratio eo at point A is 0.66, eo at point B is 0.45. Maximium vertical stress cat point A is 101 kPa, at point B is 510 kPa.
