Settlement Analysis for Shallow Foundations

Elastic Settlement Computed From Theory of Elasticity

Analysis as per IS : 8009 Part 1 - 1976, Clause 9.2

Total settlement computed as equal to elastic/immediate settlement.

No consolidation settlement - analysis valid for granular soils,weathered rocks,
hard clays & cohesive soils above water table

where B= Foundation width B' = B/2 L' = L/2 m= Poisson's Ratio
q= Applied Bearing Pressure E= Modulus of Elasticity
df = Fox's Depth factor dr = Rigidity factor
I= Influence factor at corner of rectangular loaded area(B' x L'),
computed from theory of elasticity using Steinbrenner's factors
Settlement at centre of footing of size B x L = 4 x Settlement at corner of area B' x L'
