Criteria for Deciding the Depth of Foundation | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
Footings are placed at some depth below the ground surface with minimum embedment for the following purposes (Lambe and Whitman): 1. To gain additional bearing capacity derived by the embedment. 2. To place the footing below the zone of seasonal moisture variations for protection against swelling and shrinkage cycle in case of clayey soils and […]
Settlement Analysis for Cohesive Soils | Foundations | Soil Engineering
Article shared by :
The settlement of foundations located in cohesive soils (clays) can be computed from the equation, which is – Sf = Si + Sc …(19.17) where Si is the immediate settlement and Sc is the consolidation settlement. The settlement analysis in cohesive soils is considered for the following cases: 1. Thin clay layer sandwiched between thick […]
