Foundation and Earth Retaining Structure: Topic: Foundation Settlement Calculation

The document discusses methods for calculating foundation settlement, including: 1) Calculating stress increments due to foundation loads using methods like Boussinesq and Newmark charts. 2) Applying a general settlement calculation equation that involves stress increment, soil properties, and foundation geometry. 3) Selecting relevant soil parameters from tests like SPT, CPT, and plate loading to characterize soil modulus and consolidation. The goal is to estimate total and differential settlement of structures on soil to prevent damage.
