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.

Consider the diagram below. Due to infiltration from the storage pond, waterinfiltrates into the subsurface, passes vertically through the upper (unconfined) aquifer,and vertically through the upper confining layer. Due to regional flow, the flux in theupper confined aquifer follows horizontally towards right. Several monitoring wells aredrilled within this system.The rate of infiltration from the pond is 0.2 meters per day. The hydraulic conductivity ofthe upper aquifer is 0.01 cm/sec. The conductivity of the confining layers is 10−5cm/s.The conductivity of the upper confined aquifer is 0.1 cm/s.ASSUME THAT THE WELLS PROVIDE MEASURES OF HYDRAULIC HEADONLY AT THE BASE OF THE WELL.Consider wells A and B. Assume that the base of these wells is separated by 10 meters.a) Which well would have a higher water level?b) What is the difference in water level in these two wells?

The upper layer (A) has a thickness of 39m and K = 1.3 x 10-5 m/s and the lower layer (B) has a thickness of 25m and K = 2.7 x 10-6 m/s. THE hydraulic load in the PZA is 60m and in the PZB it is 40m.
