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.

Figure shows a vertical cross section through a typical concrete gravity dam with a cutoff trench.You are asked to determine the flow of water under the dam and to calculate uplift pressure at thebottom of the dam. The solution to both problems will require that you construct a flow net tosimulate flow beneath this dam.1. Construct a flow net on Figure 1 showing groundwater flow under the dam. 2. The dam in Figure 1 is 100 m long (along the axis), and the abutments are in solid bedrock.Aquifer tests have shown the alluvium has a hydraulic conductivity of 4 x 10-5 m/s. The reservoirdepth is maintained constantly at 12 m, with a tailwater pool 2 m deep.How much water is lost under the dam (Q)? 3. Gravity dams depend on their mass for stability.
