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 sand deposit has been identified beneath a site located adjacent to a river. The sand deposit is 30 feet thick and the top of the layer is 24 feet below the ground surface and overlain by a very stiff clay and is underlain by bedrock. The water level has been measured to be at a depth of 30 feet. The standard penetration resistance of the layer has been determined to be 20 blows per foot and a sampler without liners was used; a drill rig with a safety hammer with an efficiency of 60% was used. The length of the drill rod is 5 meters and the borehole diameter is 7.87 inches (200 mm). The design earthquake has been designated as a moment magnitude 7.5 event on a nearby fault and the maximum ground acceleration is expected to be 0.60 g. The wet unit weight of the clay soils is 200 pounds per cubic foot and the wet unit weight of the sand soils is 250 pounds per cubic foot. The sands have 45% fines content according to a grain size analysis. Determine the cyclic stress ratio, CSR.…
