Calculation of Settlement

The vertical displacement of the structural foundation due to the loading from the superstructure is known as settlement. It is due to the reduction of air voids present in the soil. The amount of vertical displacement depends on the bearing capacity of the soil on which the foundation is laid. The effect of the settlement depends on the magnitude of settlement, uniformity, and the structural design of the structure. The maximum allowable settlement for residential and office buildings should be less than 18 mm, for industrial buildings, it is 38 mm and for commercial buildings, it is 25 mm.

1. (30 pts) The soil profile shown below consists of 10 meters of sandy silt overlying gravel. The pore water pressure at the top surface of the silty sand is zero and can be assumed to remain zero. a) Calculate the level to which water would rise in a piezometer tube inserted into the top of the gravel if the silty sand is just stable? Use submerged unit weights and seepage forces to arrive at your answer (do not calculate total stresses and pore water pressures). Express your answer as an elevation, e.g. "Elev. 130". (Note: Elevations are in meters) (10 pts) b) Using the piezometric elevation calculated in part (a), calculate the pore water pressure at the bottom of the silty sand if the silty sand is just stable (10 pts). c) Calculate the total stress at the base of the silty sand and show that it is equal to the pore water pressure calculated in part (b) (10 pts) Elev. 120 m.
