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.

Question

Determine the over consolidation ratio at the mid point of the clay layer.

Transcribed Image Text:The soil profile at a construction site is shown in the figure (not to scale). Ground water table (GWT) is at 5 m below the ground level at present. An old well data shows that the ground water table was as low as 10 m below the ground level in the past. Take unit weight of water. Y = 9.81 kN/m³. Sand Y = 17.5 kN/m³ Ysat = 18.5 kN/m³ Clay Ysat = 17 kN/m³ Prevent GWT 15 m Ground Level 8 m 5 m
