It is now 2123, and a big celebration is planned for the four story tall Fleming Innovation Center with each story weighing 1 ksf (kip per square ft). The current soil mechanics professor has asked her class (and you) to determine the percentage of the total consolidation that has been completed. She shared data with the students that was collected back in 2023. At that time, the engineers ran a consolidation test on a four-inch-thick sample of the clay underlying the building. The sample was found to have achieved 45 percent consolidation in 78 days. The soil profile for the site is shown below: 20' 25' FIC sand clay sand

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.
