What are the construction practices used to avoid differential settlement in foundation?
The vertical movement in foundations is caused by : Either downwards movement of the wall or wall footing, when a wall footing sinks in soft soil. An up and down movement of the wall or wall footings such as when a wall is disturbed by frost in a freezing climate Expansive clay soils expand or shrinRead more
The vertical movement in foundations is caused by :
- Either downwards movement of the wall or wall footing, when a wall footing sinks in soft soil.
- An up and down movement of the wall or wall footings such as when a wall is disturbed by frost in a freezing climate
- Expansive clay soils expand or shrink as their water content increases or decreases.

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.
