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.

I need help on this hydraulic problem. Thank you Derive an expression for the critical hydraulic head for which a column of saturated sediments with the thickness H will reach ‘quicksand conditions’ (i.e., the effective vertical stress is zero). For simplicity, assume that the water table is at the sediment surface. Once you derive the formula, calculate how fast groundwater must flow upward to reach the quicksand conditions assuming a range of hydraulic conductivities characteristic for fine-grained sands (between 10^-7 and 10^-4 m/s). Assume that the saturated density of sands is 2,000 kg/m^3.
