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.

A clay sample was consolidated in a triaxial cell under a backpressure of 50 kPa and cell pressure of 150 kPa. The drainage valve was then closed and the cell pressure was increased to 200 kPa when the pore pressure increased to 98 kPa. What is Skempton’s B-parameter? The above sample was then subjected to a vertical deviator stress, which was increased from zero under undrained conditions. The sample failed when the pore water pressure was 160 kPa and the deviator stress was 70 kPa. What is Skempton’s A-parameter at failure? Assuming the clay is normally consolidated, find the friction angle in terms of effective stresses.

A triaxial test is performed on a normally consolidated clay. The sample is further consolidated by the test of all-around confining pressure prior to application of the axial load. The axial force is then applied very slowly. The equipment pore pressure lines remain open so that drainage of soil pore water can occur during the test. (The described conditions outline the procedure for a consolidated–drained-type test.) The sample fails (shears) when the σ3 pressure is 21 kPa and the s1 value is 61 kPa. From these data, determine the angle of internal friction for the effective stress strength–failure envelope (that is, determine fCD).
