Settlement in Foundation due to Load applied on Foundation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settlement in Foundation = ((Load Intensity*Width of Footing)/(Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Width of Footing+2*Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Depth of Footing+Coefficient dependent on cohesion))
Δ = ((q_f*B)/(C₁*B+2*C₁*D+C₂))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Settlement in Foundation - (Measured in Meter) - Settlement in Foundation is vertical movement of foundation due to applied load.
Load Intensity - (Measured in Pascal) - Load Intensity is defined as load applied per unit area.
Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.
Coefficient dependent on internal friction - Coefficient dependent on internal friction depend upon angle of internal friction.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Coefficient dependent on cohesion - Coefficient dependent on cohesion usually determined by bearing-plate loading tests.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load Intensity: 0.005 Megapascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient dependent on internal friction: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient dependent on cohesion: 10 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Δ = ((q_f*B)/(C₁*B+2*C₁*D+C₂)) --> ((5000*2)/(10*2+2*10*15.2+10))

Evaluating ... ...

Δ = 29.940119760479

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

29.940119760479 Meter -->29940.119760479 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

29940.119760479 ≈ 29940.12 Millimeter <-- Settlement in Foundation

Settlement in Foundation due to Load applied on Foundation

Go Settlement in Foundation = ((Load Intensity*Width of Footing)/(Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Width of Footing+2*Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Depth of Footing+Coefficient dependent on cohesion))

Load Intensity on Foundation given Settlement

Go Load Intensity = (Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on internal friction)*(1+(2*Depth of Footing)/Width of Footing)+((Settlement in Foundation*Coefficient dependent on cohesion)/Width of Footing)

Settlement in Foundation due to Load applied on Foundation Formula

What is settlement in foundation ?

Inevitably, soils deform under the load of foundation structures. The total vertical displacement that occur at foundation level is termed as settlement. The cause of foundation settlement is the reduction of volume air void ratio in the soil.
