INFLUENCE DEPTH

Note: In case of footing established at a depth below the ground surface, pc is the vertical stress at the base of the foundation prior to construction including weight of soil removed. as qs > pc , Thus Sc = Settlement of the Rectangular footing : L/B = 3 Sc (Strip) / Sc (square) = Sc (Strip) (1.25(L/B)/(L/B +0.25)) 2 = 1.33 = 13.27 mm : Yes 9.97 mm (for Square footing)

Water Table expected to rise in or above influence zone Expected Settlement : Note:

26.55 mm

If The Water Table is expected to rise in or above the influence zone then the settlement value is doubled. 1.
