3. GENERAL
The settlement of shallow foundation may be divided into three broad
categories:
1. Immediate settlement, which is caused by the elastic deformation of dry
soil and of moist and saturated soils without any change in the moisture
content. Immediate settlement are generally based on equations derived
from the elasticity theory
2. Primary consolidation settlement, which is the result of a volume
change in saturated cohesive soils because of expulsion of the water that
occupies the void spaces.
3. Secondary consolidation settlement, which is observed in saturated
cohesive soils and is the result of the plastic adjustment of soil particles.

10. EXAMPLE
Problem:
A foundation is 1 m x 2 m in plan and carries a net load per unit
area, qo = 150 kN/m2. Given, for the soil, Es = 10,000 kN/m2, s
0.3. Assuming the foundation to be flexible, estimate the elastic
settlement at the center of the foundation for the following
conditions:
a. Df = 0 and H =
b. Df = 0 and H = 5 m

21. CONSOLIDATION SETTLEMENT
where:
eo = initial void ratio
Cc = compression index
Cs = swelling index
pc = preconsolidation pressure
po = average effective pressure on the clay layer before the construction of the foundation
= ’.z
p = average increase of pressure on the clay layer caused by the foundation construction
and other external load, which can be determine using method of 2:1, Boussinesq,
Westergaard or Newmark.
Alternatively, the average increase of pressure (p) may be approximated by:
bmt pppp 4
6
1
pt = the pressure increase at the top of the clay layer
pm = the pressure increase at the middle of the clay layer
pb = the pressure increase at the bottom of the clay layer
