Settlement of Structures on Clay Soils

C. J. Padfield / M. J. Sharrock

The derivation of principal soil characteristics (for use in the assessment of settlement) is presented, and the methods for computation are examined for their relative merits. The interaction of the structure with the ground is examined, with particular reference to different parts of the foundation and the soil. Performance specification for foundations is discussed with reference to tolerances and possible damage. Presentation of the design of foundation structures is subdivided to consider separately the different major classes of foundation type. In each case, emphasis is on the scope existing for limiting settlement, in the light of the interaction which inevitably occurs between soil, foundation and structure.
