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

13. Situation 13 - The soil is acted upon by a uniformly distributed load ΔP = 60 kPa at the ground surface.

a. Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 230 kPa. Use Cs = Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.

b. Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the clay is normally consolidated. Round off to the nearest whole number.

c. Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 200 kPa. Use Cs = Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.
