Settlement analysis: Components (II)Total settlement ρ = ρi + ρc+ ρs
Distortion (immediate?) settlement ρi
The change in shape or distortion of the soil beneath the foundation (at no volume change).Primary consolidation settlement ρc
Occurs during dissipation of pore water pressure and expulsion of water from voids in the soil. Often takes substantial time in cohesive soils, but is insignificant in cohesionless soils.Secondary compression settlement ρs
A form of creep that is largely controlled by the rate at which the skeleton of compressible soils can yield and compress, particularly for foundations on clay, silts and peats.

Plate load test• The test is mainly used to derive the
deformation modulus of soil for predicting the settlement of a shallow foundation.
• Guidelines and procedures for conducting plate loading tests are given in BS EN 1997-1:2004 (BSI, 2004) and DD ENV 1997-3:2000 (BSI, 2000b). ASTM D1194-94 Standard Test Method for Bearing Capacity of Soil for Static Load and Spread Footings was withdrwan.
• The elastic soil modulus Es can be determined as:
qnet = net ground bearing pressureδp = settlement of the test plateIs = shape factorb = diameter of test plate, 350, 450, or 600 mmνs = Poisson’s ratio of the soil

Methods of settlement calculation

Evaluation of immediate settlement based on in-situ tests (Schmertmann’s method)Most of the methods for sands are purely empirical. Schmertmann’smethod is based on elastic theory and calibrated using empiricaldata. The total settlement is the sum of settlements of layers:
H: layer thicknessIε: influence factor at layerEs: equivalent modulus of elasticity of layer (not Young’s modulus E)C1, C2 and C3: correction factors for depth, secondary creep and shape, respectivelyC1=1-0.5σ’zD/(q-σ’zD); C2 =1+0.2log(time in year/0.1); C3=1.03-0.03L/B > 0.73
