s = tolerable settlement
N = average penetration number
Settlement Analysis on Sand:
Immediate Settlement
Immediate foundation settlement at a corner of a rigid
foundation of breadth B ranging from 8-12m is
respectively obtained using the expression proposed by
Harr (1966) and reported in Braja (1999) as follows;
(3)
Consolidation Settlement:
Although settlement of sand is generally treated as
immediate, the consolidation settlement was attempted
adopting Equations (4, 5, 7 and 8). The coefficient of
volumetric compressibility, mv, is obtained from the
following expression;
(7)
(8)
Where c is consolidation settlement, qn is net foundation
pressure, B is foundation breadth, p is change in
pressure, e is change in void ratio, eo is initial void ratio,
is coefficient
