SITUATION: A 12 ft x 10 ft footing carries a total load of 300 tons. Standard penetration test was conducted on the site. Test results were corrected for over burden pressure and corrected N-values are listed as shown. Determine the maximum settlement. Settlements of Loads on Sand (SPT) 29 Njowest Smax = maximum settlement on dry sand in inches 1+B 24 Smax =Xs 2B TAR) if the ground water table is located at a depth below the Njowest base of the footing less than the half the footings width (B/2).
