Manage Equation Settlement For Free

Total settlement refers to the overall change in vertical distance. Differential settlement involves an expected amount that the total settlement will vary between points over a horizontal distance, which can be caused by variations in the foundation soil profile and wall height over a certain distance.

The rate of settlement of a saturated soil is expressed by the coefficient of consolidation (cv). The rate of settlement of a soil, and hence the value of cv, is governed by two factors: the amount of water to be squeezed out of the soil; and the rate at which that water can flow out.

Note: the consolidation settlement can be reduced by conducting any of the following: 1. Increase the length of piles (when the length of piles are increased, ?H? value in the preceding equation would reduce. ?H? is the thickness of the compressible portion of the clay layer).

Therefore, to determine the settlements, it is necessary to know: the course of vertical stresses ?z with depth. The settlement-generating base stress ?1 = ?0 - ? ? h must be used, taking into consideration the stress reduction by the excavation unloading for the embedment depth of the foundations.

The primary consolidation settlement can be calculated from the coefficient of volume compressibility mv, which can further lead to the Young's modulus E? = (1 + v?)(1 ? 2v?)/[mv(1 ? v?)], with an assumed Poisson's ratio v?.
