Allowable settlements of buildings
Hardly any data seem to be available for frame buildings with modern forms of curtain walling and dry construction partitions; greatest differential settlement in building; angular distortion of 1/300 is typically about 1 3/4 in. if foundation is on clay and about 1 1/4 in. if foundation is on sand or filling; suggestions for values of design limits are all subject to same limitations.
