Review of design and performance of spread footings and rafts in relation to prediction and control of settlement reveals that allowable bearing pressures for given settlement of shallow foundations on sand and gravel, when estimated from standard or static cone penetration tests, are rather conservative; based on present analysis, bearing pressures could safely be increased by 50%, when corresponding predicted settlements would vary from about 0.8 to 2 times observed values.
