For foundations on cohesive soils, the principal design criterion is typically the latter the control of expected settlements within the limits considered tolerable for the structure. As a result, once allowable foundation displacements have been established, the estimate of total settlement over the service life of the structure is a major factor in the choice of foundation design. The purpose of this chapter is to present the fundamental concepts regarding settlement analysis for saturated, inorganic, cohesive soils. In addition, the recommended procedure for estimation of foundation settlements is described. Much of this chapter is based on Leonards [1968], Perloff [1975], and Holtz [1991]. Readers may refer to these works for additional information on consolidation and settlement analysis. http://www.zshare.net/download/832672514f50bf/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
