TOPIC 3: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONWEEK 6 • SETTLEMENT OF FOUNDATION ON SOIL • REVIEW OF VERTICAL STRESS DISTRIBUTION • FOUNDATION ON FILL
Learning Outcomes Students should be able to: • Determine the type of foundation on fill (CO2-PO10)
SETTLEMENTOF SHALLOW FOUNDATION • Total settlement = Immediate Settlement + Consolidation Settlement • Immediate settlement (elastic) takes place during or immediately after the construction of the structure. • Consolidation Settlement occurs over a period of time. Consists of: • Primary – squeezing of water from its void • Secondary – slippage and reorientation of soil particles
Calculation of Vertical Stress Increase A) Stress Increase due to Concentrated Load
OTHER METHODS • Newmarks Chart • Fadums Chart • Pressure Bulbs Chart
FOUNDATION ON FILL Type of Fill • Non engineered fill • Engineered fill • Reclaimed land
Foundation Selection • May use raft for engineered fill – need to confirm before construction • Ground improvement for reclaimed land – PVD, Vibro compaction, Dynamic ompaction, stone column etc • Piling for non engineered fill.
TOPIC 3: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF SHALLOW FOUNDATIONWEEK 7 • Theoretical and Empirical Method for Estimating Settlement. • Total and Differential Settlement to Limit Damage
Learning Outcomes Students should be able to: • Able to estimate settlement (CO2-PO10) • Able to determine angular distortion (CO2-PO10) • Able to discuss on tolerable settlement. (CO2-PO10)
Elastic Parameters of Soil Correlation
Tolerable Settlement of Buildings Parameters for Differential Settlement
Field Load Test Test in Clay, qu(F) = qu(P) Sand, qu(F) = qu(P) BF/BP
For a given qo Terzaghi and Peck: For sand, SF/SP = 4/ (1 +BP/BF)2 Clay, SF = SP. BF/BP
Calculate the average Stress Increase for the clay layer and the Consolidation Settlement
