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 consolidated-drained triaxial test was conducted on an overconsolidated clay sample. The sample failed in test 1 at 01=200 kPa and 03=130 kPa, and in test 2 at o1=400 kPa and 03=290 kPa. Determine the undrained and drained friction angles and cohesion for the assumption that the Skempton's pore water pressure parameter A=0.45. Also, for a CU test on the same soil, determine o1, 1', 03', and excess pore water pressure u for 03=340 kPa.
