This document discusses methods for estimating the settlement of shallow foundations. It covers elastic and consolidation settlement of foundations on saturated clay, using equations that take into account factors like the foundation size and rigidity, soil properties, and depth to rigid layers. It also presents methods for estimating settlement of sandy soils based on strain influence factors and cone penetration resistance. The total settlement is the sum of immediate elastic settlement and long-term consolidation settlement, which has primary and secondary phases.

2) Plate load tests can be used to estimate the safe bearing pressure that results in a given permissible settlement. Tests are conducted with plates of different sizes and the load-settlement data is used to calculate settlement of prototype foundations using empirical equations.
3) Housel's method involves conducting two plate load tests and solving equations involving load, plate area and perimeter to determine constants, which are then used to calculate load and size of a prototype foundation that results in the permissible settlement.

This document discusses stress distribution in soils. It defines stress as the internal forces per unit area within a body resisting external loads. Stress is calculated as force over cross-sectional area. Stresses in soil come from geostatic or self-weight stresses due to overburden pressure, or induced stresses from external loads like foundations or vehicles. Pore water pressure is stress transmitted by water in soil pores, while effective stress is that transmitted between soil grains, accounting for both normal and shear strength. Effective stress is calculated as total stress minus pore water pressure.

This document discusses lateral earth pressure on retaining walls. It introduces Rankine's and Coulomb's theories for estimating active and passive earth pressures. Rankine proposed that a semi-infinite mass of soil could reach states of plastic equilibrium under horizontal stretching (active state) or compression (passive state). Mohr circles are used to determine the principal stresses and orientation of potential failure planes for each state. The active pressure coefficient KA is related to the friction angle, while the passive pressure coefficient KP is also a function of friction angle.

Hansen's theory provides a more general bearing capacity equation that can be applied to both shallow and deep foundations. Safety factors are applied to the ultimate bearing capacity to determine allowable bearing capacity for foundation design. Settlement criteria may also control and limit the allowable bearing capacity in some cases.

Best numerical problem group pile capacity (usefulsearch.org) (useful search)Make Mannan
A circular well with an external diameter of 4.5m and steel thickness of 0.75m is embedded 12m deep in uniform sand. The sand has an angle of internal friction of 30 degrees and submerged unit weight of 1 t/m3. The well is subjected to a horizontal force of 50t and bending moment of 400tm at the scour level. Assuming the well acts as a lightweight retaining wall, the allowable total equivalent resting force due to earth pressure with a safety factor of 2 is calculated.
This document provides definitions and concepts related to bearing capacity of soil. It discusses Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory, which presents an equation for ultimate bearing capacity based on soil properties and footing geometry. The theory makes assumptions about soil behavior and failure mechanisms. Modifying factors are discussed for shape of footing, local shear failure, water table level, and eccentric loading conditions. A factor of safety of 3 is typically assumed unless otherwise.
This document discusses the compressibility and settlement of soils and elastic solids. It begins by explaining that structures built on soils will experience settlement depending on the soil compressibility and applied stress. Settlement can be estimated by modeling the soil as an elastic solid and accounting for boundary conditions. Greater confinement results in less settlement. Footing settlement is calculated using an influence coefficient that depends on factors like footing shape and depth. Real soils have non-constant compressibility that decreases with depth due to increased confinement. Total settlement is calculated by summing the contribution of each soil layer.

Effect of foundation flexibility on dynamic behaviour of asymmetric building ...eSAT Journals
Abstract In general the seismic design of building frame structures the designers will consider only the results of fixed base condition the effect of flexibility is ignored. In post-earthquake study the framed structure reveals that the interaction of soil and foundation plays an important role in damage of the building frame structures. In this regard a literature survey has been done on frame structures supported on various foundations such as isolated, combined, raft & pile foundations. To examine the literature revels the few investigations were done on asymmetric building frame structure is supported on isolated footing. So in this paper is an attempt to the study of dynamic behavior of asymmetric building frame structure is supported on isolated footings. The modeling and analysis is done by using “finite element method software” SAP2000 VERSION 14, by considering the different soil conditions, (soft, medium, hard) different soil parameters (passion’s ratio, young’s modulus, dynamic shear modulus) different height ratio’s, different span ratio’s & fixed base conditions. The response of the building frame structure is obtained in terms of fundamental natural period, lateral displacement and seismic base shear. Keywords: Soil structure interaction, Fundamental natural period, Base shear, Lateral displacement….
1. The document discusses different types of foundations, including shallow foundations like spread footings and deep foundations like piles.
2. It covers bearing capacity theories proposed by Rankine, Terzaghi, Meyerhof, and Hansen. Terzaghi's theory is the most commonly used approach.
3. Key factors that influence bearing capacity are discussed, along with effects of the groundwater table. Allowable bearing capacity is defined using a factor of safety.
This document analyzes liquefaction induced settlement using finite element modeling in ABAQUS. It outlines the parameters to consider like soil properties, foundation dimensions, and acceleration duration. A literature review covers previous studies on liquefaction settlement analysis. The plan of work involves modeling a shallow foundation on liquefiable soil in three series - a single soil layer, a natural crust layer, and an artificially improved crust layer. Preliminary modeling is done for a single soil layer foundation subjected to acceleration. Results show settlement increases with acceleration duration. The modeling is validated against empirical equations and centrifuge tests.
This document discusses mat foundations. It begins by introducing mat foundations as a type of combined footing that can support an entire structure. It describes common types of mat foundations including flat plates, plates thickened under columns, beams and slabs, and slabs with basement walls. It then covers calculating the bearing capacity of mat foundations, considering factors for shape, depth, and soil properties. Graphs are provided showing variations in allowable bearing capacity. Methods are presented for determining bearing capacity in clays and sands based on soil strength properties and settlement.
ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations: special casesMehmet Akin
This document discusses special cases for the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations beyond the standard assumptions. It describes how the bearing capacity is affected by:
1) A rigid layer at shallow depth below the foundation, which restricts failure surface development.
2) Layered soils with different shear strengths, where the failure surface may pass through multiple layers.
3) Proximity to a slope, where the failure surface includes a wedge of soil from the slope.
4) Closely spaced foundations, where failure surfaces can overlap and bearing capacity is reduced due to interference.
1) Slope stability is analyzed using the factor of safety, which is the ratio of resisting shear strength to driving shear stress. A factor of safety below 1.5 indicates instability.
2) Common slope failure modes include rotational, toe, base, and transitional failures. The Swedish circle method divides a potential failure surface into slices to analyze stability.
3) Factors that influence slope stability include soil properties, geometry, drainage conditions, and external loads. Various techniques can improve stability, such as flattening slopes, installing drainage, or adding retaining structures.
FINITE ELEMENT COMPUTATION OF THE BEHAVIORAL MODEL OF MAT FOUNDATIONIAEME Publication
In this work the influence of soil mechanical properties on the displacements of mat foundation is studied. It was introduced the soil-structure interaction that is modeled by two
parameters, the modulus of subgrade vertical reaction (k) and the modulus of subgrade horizontal reaction (2T). These two parameters are dependent on the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the system. It appears from this study that the modulus of vertical subgrade reaction is not an
intrinsic characteristic but depends on the parameters of the soil and the concrete (Es νs, Eb and νb) and the dimensions of the plate (so dependent on the superstructure). It is clear from this analysis that the foundation soil parameters are more influential than those of the plate
Finite element computation of the behavioral model of mat foundationIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a study that used finite element modeling to analyze the behavioral model of mat foundations. It introduced soil-structure interaction parameters like modulus of subgrade reaction (k) and horizontal reaction (2T). The study found the modulus of subgrade reaction depends on soil and concrete properties and foundation dimensions, and soil parameters have a more influential effect on foundation displacements than concrete properties. The finite element model was developed using rectangular plate elements. Shape functions and generalized strain-displacement matrices were defined to derive the element stiffness matrix for analyzing mat foundation behavior.
This presentation discusses footing design and provides information on different types of footings, including spread footings, continuous footings, combined footings, and strap or cantilever footings. It describes the footing design procedure, which involves determining loads, collecting soil data, selecting footing dimensions, reinforcement, and checking for stability. Recommendations are provided for minimum investigation depths when assessing soil conditions for footing design. Load types, eccentric loading, and effective foundation area are also covered.
This document presents a case study on estimating the modulus of subgrade reaction (k-value) for designing raft foundations of multi-story buildings constructed on sandy soil in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Site investigations including boreholes and plate load tests were conducted. Plate load tests were back analyzed using numerical modeling to validate the soil properties. Different sized foundations were then modeled to estimate k-values. The k-values decreased with increasing foundation size and sometimes differed from values estimated using Terzaghi's equation, highlighting that k-value depends on foundation properties and soil conditions.

Effect of Soil Flexibility on Analysis and Design of BuildingIJERA Editor
Generally in the analysis and design of multi-story building frame it is assumed that the base is fixed but in actual the structure is ultimately supported on soil which is flexible in nature. This flexibility of soil may vary due to load-settlement characteristics of soil, variation in soil strata below the foundation level, seasonal variation of soil property etc. The flexible nature of soil causes differential settlement between foundations on application of loads which in turn redistribute the structural forces as well as design. The present paper attempts to acknowledge the effect of soil flexibility in analysis and design of structure. A G+7 4-bay by 4-bay RCC residential building frame supported on sandy soil and situated in seismic zone V as per IS: 1893(part 1)-2002 is analysed usingStaad pro software. Initially the building frame is modelled and analysed assuming fixed base and support reactions are determined for different load cases. The foundation sizes for different supports are calculated by using Staad foundation software. The fixed support is replaced by a spring of equivalent foundation stiffness to perform flexible base analysis. In flexible support analysis the maximum total settlement and differential settlement between footings is found to be 44.19 mm and 8.14 mm respectively which is neglected in conventional analysis. The variation in values of settlement is more critical in case of seismic loading. Soil flexibility causes significant variation in values of support moment compared to vertical support reaction. The flexibility of soil also affects the forces in beams and columns. The requirement of steel reinforcement is reduced by nearly 7% in flexible support system compared to fixed base. The study shows that the soil flexibility redistributed the structural forces and affects the analysis and design of structure. In present study analysis and design of structure assuming flexible base is found to be more accurate and economical.
Effect of vertical cross sectional shape of foundation and soil reinforcementIAEME Publication
This document discusses an experimental study on the effect of vertical cross-sectional shape of foundations and soil reinforcement on the settlement and bearing capacity of soils. Models of shallow foundations with rectangular, wedge, and T-shaped vertical cross-sections were tested on both unreinforced and reinforced soft clay soils. The study found that soil reinforcement under foundations reduces settlement and increases bearing capacity. Foundations with rectangular cross-sections had higher bearing capacity ratios than those with wedge or T-shaped cross-sections.
The document describes a study on the seismic response of plane frames considering soil-structure interaction (SSI). Plane frames with varying numbers of stories (9m to 33m) and bay lengths (2m to 10m) were modeled in STAAD Pro software. The frames were analyzed under fixed base conditions and flexible base conditions where SSI was incorporated using Winkler soil springs. Results showed that accounting for SSI led to changes in seismic responses like bending moments, axial forces, and lateral displacements compared to fixed base conditions. The influence of SSI increased with softer soil and was more pronounced for frames with greater heights and bay lengths.
This document presents an empirical formulation for determining the allowable bearing capacity of shallow foundations based on in situ measured shear wave velocity. It summarizes the classical theory for ultimate bearing capacity which has various uncertainties. An expression is proposed that relates allowable bearing capacity to only two soil parameters: unit weight and shear wave velocity. Case histories from 14 sites show this expression provides reliable and safe estimates of allowable bearing capacity while being more efficient than the classical theory which requires laboratory testing. The shear wave velocity represents real soil conditions and allows convenient single-step determination of allowable bearing capacity from geophysical surveys.

3. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
• Settlement of a shallow foundation can be divided into two major categories:
(a) elastic, or immediate, settlement
(b) consolidation settlement.
• Immediate, or elastic, settlement of a foundation takes place during or
immediately after the construction of the structure.
• Consolidation settlement occurs over time.
• Pore water is extruded from the void spaces of saturated clayey soils
submerged in water.
• The total settlement of a foundation is the sum of the elastic settlement and the
consolidation settlement.
7.1 Introduction
4. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
• Consolidation settlement comprises two phases: primary and secondary.
• The fundamentals of primary consolidation settlement were explained in detail
in Soil Mechanics Course.
• Secondary consolidation settlement occurs after the completion of primary
consolidation caused by slippage and reorientation of soil particles under a
sustained load.
• Primary consolidation settlement is more significant than secondary settlement
in inorganic clays and silty soils.
• However, in organic soils, secondary consolidation settlement is more
significant.
• This chapter presents various theories presently available for estimating of
elastic and consolidation settlement of shallow foundations.
7.1 Introduction
5. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
7.2 Elastic Settlement of Shallow Foundation on Saturated Clay (ms = 0.5)
• Janbu et al. (1956) proposed an equation to evaluate the average settlement
of flexible foundations on saturated clay soils (Poisson’s ratio, ms = 0.5).
• Referring to Figure 7.1, this relationship can be expressed as:
where
A1 = f (H/B, L/B)
A2 = f (Df/B)
L = length of the foundation
B = width of the foundation
Df = depth of the foundation
H = depth of the bottom of the foundation to a rigid layer
qo = net load per unit area of the foundation

7.2 Elastic Settlement of Shallow Foundation on Saturated Clay (ms = 0.5)
• Christian and Carrier (1978) modified the values of A1 and A2 to some extent
and is presented in Figure 7.1.
• The modulus of elasticity (Es) for saturated clays can be given as:
Es = bcu
Where: cu = undrained shear strength.
• The parameter b is a function of the plasticity index and overconsolidation
ratio (OCR).
• Table 7.1 provides a general range for b, and proper judgment should be used
in selecting the magnitude of b.

10. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
Consider the shallow foundation subjected to pressure of Ds.
Let Poisson’s ratio and the modulus of elasticity of the soil supporting it be ms and Es,
respectively.
If the foundation is perfectly flexible, the settlement is expressed as:
Where:
qo = net applied pressure on the foundation
ms = Poisson’s ratio of soil
Es = average modulus of elasticity of the soil
(It is measured from z = 0 to about z = 5B)
B’ = B/2 for center of foundation
B’ = B for corner of foundation
Is = shape factor

When Df = 0, the value of If = 1 in all cases.
7.3 Settlement Based on the Theory of Elasticity
17. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
• The elastic settlement of a rigid foundation can be estimated as:
• Due to the nonhomogeneous nature of soil deposits, the magnitude of Es may
vary with depth.
• For that reason, using a weighted average value of Es is considered.
Where:
Es(i) = soil modulus of elasticity within a depth Dz
z’ = H or 5B, whichever is smaller
Representative values of the modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio for different
types of soils are given in the following tables.

7.4 Improved Equation for Elastic Settlement
• Mayne and Poulos presented an improved formula for calculating the elastic
settlement of foundations.
• The formula takes into account the rigidity of the foundation, the depth of
embedment of the foundation, the increase in the modulus of elasticity of the
soil with depth, and the location of rigid layers at a limited depth.
• To use Mayne and Poulos’s equation, one needs to determine the equivalent
diameter Be of a rectangular foundation, or
where
B = width of foundation
L = length of foundation
For circular foundations: Be = B (B = diameter of foundation).

7.4 Improved Equation for Elastic Settlement
• Fig. 7.5 shows a foundation with an equivalent diameter Be located at a depth
Df below the ground surface.
• Let the thickness of the foundation be t and the modulus of elasticity of the
foundation material be Ef .
• A rigid layer is located at a depth H below the bottom of the foundation.
28. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
7.4 Improved Equation for Elastic Settlement
• The modulus of elasticity of the compressible soil layer can be given as:
Es = Eo + kz
• Now, the elastic settlement below the center of the foundation is:

7.5 Settlement of Sandy Soil: Use of Strain Influence Factor
• The settlement of granular soils can also be evaluated by the use of a
semiempirical strain influence factor proposed by Schmertmann et al. (1978).
• According to this method (Figure 7.9), the settlement is:
Where:
Iz = strain influence factor
C1 = correction factor for the depth of foundation embedment = 1 – 0.5 [q/(q – q)]
C2 = a correction factor to account for creep in soil = 1 + log (time in years / 0.1)
q = stress at the level of the foundation
q = gDf = effective stress at the base of the foundation
Es = modulus of elasticity of soil

7.5 Settlement of Sandy Soil: Use of Strain Influence Factor
• The recommended variation of the strain influence factor Iz for square or
circular foundations and for rectangular foundations with L/B ≥ 10 is shown in
Figure 7.9.
• The Iz diagrams for 1 < L/B < 10 can be interpolated.
• The maximum value of Iz = Iz(m) occurs at z = z1 and then reduces to 0 at z = z2.
• The maximum value of Iz can be calculated as
Where:
q’z(1) = effective stress at a depth of z1 before construction of the foundation

• Schmertmann et al. (1978) suggested that:
Es = 2.5qc (for square foundation)
Es = 3.5qc (for L/B ≥ 10)
Where:

7.5 Settlement of Sandy Soil: Use of Strain Influence Factor
The procedure for calculating elastic settlement using is given below:
Step 1: Plot the foundation and the variation of Iz with depth to scale (Fig. 7.10a).
Step 2: Using the correlation from standard penetration resistance (N60) or cone
penetration resistance (qc), plot the actual variation of Es with depth (Fig. 7.10b).
Step 3: Approximate the actual variation of Es into a number of layers of soil
having a constant Es, such as Es(1), Es(2), . . . , Es(i), . . . Es(n) (Fig. 7.10b).
Step 4: Divide the soil layer from z = 0 to z = z2 into a number of layers by drawing
horizontal lines. Number of layers will depend on the break in continuity in the Iz
and Es diagrams.
Step 5: Prepare a table (such as Table 7.5) to obtain
Step 6: Calculate C1 and C2.
Step 7: Calculate Se from Eq. (7.20).

• Terzaghi, Peck, and Mesri (1996) proposed a slightly different form of the
strain influence factor diagram, as shown in Fig. 7.12.
• According to this method:
At z = 0, Iz = 0.2 (for all L/B values)
At z = z1 = 0.5B, Iz = 0.6 (for all L/B values)
At z = z2 = 2B, Iz = 0 (for L/B = 1)
At z = z2 = 4B, Iz = 0 (for L/B ≥ 10)

7.6 Settlement of Foundation on Sand Based on Standard
Penetration Resistance (Meyerhof’s Method)
• Meyerhof proposed a correlation for the net bearing pressure for foundations
with the standard penetration resistance, N60.
• The net pressure has been defined as: qnet = q – gDf
Where: q = stress at the level of the foundation.
• According to Meyerhof’s theory, for 25 mm of estimated maximum settlement:
1. For B ≤ 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = N60 ÷ 4
2. For B > 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = (N60 ÷ 6) × [(B + 1) / B]2
• Bowels proposed a modified form of bearing equations as follows:
1. For B ≤ 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = (N60 ÷ 2.5) × Fd × Se
2. For B > 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = (N60 ÷ 4) × [(B + 1) / B]2 × Fd × Se
Where:
Fd = depth factor = 1 + 0.33(Df/B)
B = foundation width, in feet
Se = settlement, in inches

57. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
• Bowels proposed a modified form of bearing equations as follows:
1. For B ≤ 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = (N60 ÷ 2.5) × Fd × Se
Se = (qnet × 2.5) ÷ (N60 × Fd)
2. For B > 4 ft, qnet (kip/ft2) = (N60 ÷ 4) × [(B + 1) / B]2 × Fd × Se
Se = [(qnet × 4) ÷ (N60 × Fd)] × [(B + 1) / B]2
• In SI Units, the previous equations will be:
1. For B ≤ 1.22 m, qnet (kN/m2) = (N60 ÷ 0.05) × Fd × (Se/25)
Se = 1.25 qnet ÷ (N60 × Fd)
2. For B > 1.22 m, qnet (kN/m2) = (N60 ÷ 0.08) × [(B + 0.3) / B]2 × Fd × (Se/25)
Se = [(2 qnet) ÷ (N60 × Fd)] × [(B + 0.3) / B]2
Where: B = foundation width, in m
Se = settlement, in mm
N60 = the standard penetration resistance between the bottom
of the foundation and 2B below the bottom

7.14 Tolerable Settlement of Buildings
• In most instances of construction, the subsoil is not
homogeneous and the load carried by various shallow
foundations of a given structure can vary widely.
• As a result, it is reasonable to expect varying degrees of
settlement in different parts of a given building.
• The differential settlement of the parts of a building can
lead to damage of the superstructure.
• Hence, it is important to define certain parameters that
quantify differential settlement and to develop limiting
values for those parameters in order that the resulting
structures be safe.
• Fig. 7.27 shows a structure in which various foundations,
at A, B, C, D, and E, have gone through some settlement.
60. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
7.14 Tolerable Settlement of Buildings
• The settlement at A is AA’, at B is BB’, etc.
• Based on this figure, the definitions of the various parameters are as follows:
ST = total settlement of a given point
DST = difference in total settlement between any two points
D = relative deflection (i.e., movement from a straight line joining two
reference points)
a = gradient between two successive points
b = angular distortion = DST(ij)÷ lij
w = tilt
D ÷ L = deflection ratio
Note: lij = distance between points i and j
61. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
7.14 Tolerable Settlement of Buildings
• Various researchers and building codes have recommended allowable values
for the preceding parameters.
• A summary of several of these recommendations is presented next.
• Skempton and McDonald (1956) proposed the following limiting values for
maximum settlement and maximum angular distortion for building purposes:
Maximum settlement, ST(max)
• In sand 32 mm
• In clay 45 mm
Maximum differential settlement, DST(max)
• Isolated foundations in sand 51 mm
• Isolated foundations in clay 76 mm
• Raft in sand 51–76 mm
• Raft in clay 76–127 mm
Maximum angular distortion, bmax 1/300
62. Settlement of Shallow Foundations
7.14 Tolerable Settlement of Buildings
• On the basis of experience, Polshin and Tokar (1957) suggested the following
allowable deflection ratios for buildings as a function of L/H, the ratio of the
length to the height of a building:
D/L = 0.0003 for L/H ≤ 2
D/L = 0.001 for L/H = 8
• The 1955 Soviet Code of Practice allowable values are given in Table 7.10.

• Bjerrum (1963) recommended the following limiting angular distortion, bmax for
various structures, as shown in Table 7.11.
