ƍ = Settlement

q0 = Unfactored vertical pressure at base of loaded area

v = Poisson's Ratio
r = radius of footing
Ip = (1) / βz

Following cases are studied to arrive at value of settlement

Case-1: Considering loaded area (raft size) of 4m x 4m (area of pedestal)

Total Load = 76000 kN (SLS)

= 76000000 N

Radius = 3400 mm

q0 = 8.371 N/mm2 (SLS)

v = 0.25
r = 3400 m
L/B = 1.00
βz = 1.08 (For Rigid Footing)
Ip = 0.9259259
Em = α E . E0
E0 = 4.2 e6 psi (On very conservative side)
1 MPa = 145.038 psi
E0 = 28957.928 MPa
αE = 0.0231 ( RQD ) - 1.32 >= 0.15
RQD = 75
αE = 0.4125
Em = 11945.145 MPa (Considered on conservative side)

ƍ = 2.07 mm

Spring Value = 36746224 kN/m

Spring Actual = 16012657 kN/m Hence OK
Case-2: Considering loaded area (raft size) of 30m x 12m (area of Raft)

Total Load = 466236 kN (ULS, corresponding to 4 columns per 30x12m2)

= 310824 kN (SLS = ULS / 1.5)
= 310824000 N

Area = 30000 mm x 12000 mm

q0 = 0.863 N/mm2 (SLS)

v = 0.25
B = 12000 m
L/B = 2.50
βz = 1.125 (For Rigid Footing)
Ip = 1.4054567
Em = α E . E0
E0 = 4.2 e6 psi (On very conservative side)
1 MPa = 145.038 psi
E0 = 28957.928 MPa
αE = 0.0231 ( RQD ) - 1.32 >= 0.15
RQD = 75
αE = 0.4125
Em = 11945.145 MPa (Considered on conservative side)

ƍ = 1.14 mm

Spring Value = 271971839 kN/m

Spring Actual = 16012657 kN/m Hence OK
