What are the construction practices which are used to avoid differential settlement in foundation?
Komal Bhandakkar
Differential settlement in foundation: Usually, due to poor compaction, lower bearing capacity of the soil, high depth of hard strata, various changes in water content in soil are the basic reason behind the differential settlement of soil.

Differential settlement in foundation:
Usually, due to poor compaction, lower bearing capacity of the soil, high depth of hard strata, various changes in water content in soil are the basic reason behind the differential settlement of soil.
Apart from that, trees & vegetation is not good for foundation safety.
Soil consolidation is the main reason for differential settlement of the foundation.
Foundation push piers & foundation underpinning also harms the foundation, which leads to a differential settlement.
Thank you.

Komal Bhandakkar
Actually, the answer to your question is simple. Since the bulk density of cement is 1440kg/cu.m. Mix proportion of M 20 grade of concrete = 1:1.5:3 Weight of one cement bag = 50kg. Required total dry volume of Material = 1.57 cu.m Required Volume of cement = Ratio of cement x 1.57/(1+1.5+3)Read more

Komal Bhandakkar
When sugar is added to the concrete, it acts as a retarding agent, and it delays the setting time of concrete. Sugar is one of the traditional retarding agents used in concrete. If the Sugar dosage level is approximately 0.06% by weight of the cement then it increases the setting time up to 1.33 hrsRead more
