Shallow Foundations – Settlement
Settlement is usually caused by direct application of structural loads on the foundation which in turn cause compression of the supporting material such as soil or rock. Actually, in most constructions, the subsoil is not homogeneous and the load carried by various shallow foundations of a given structure can vary widely. In the design of foundations, there are certain settlement requirements must be satisfied. The requirements are usually stated in terms of the allowable total settlement and the allowable total differential settlement. Settlements of foundations on sands, gravel deposits and granular fill materials take place almost immediately as the foundation loading is imposed on them. For practicable laboratory test procedure requirement, geotechnical engineers resort to empirical or semi‐empirical methods for estimation of foundation settlements, based on the results of in situ PLT, standard penetration test (SPT), cone penetration test (CPT), pressuremeter test and dilatometer test.
