Settlement of spread footing foundation under loads
Madeh Izat Hamakareem
Equations of Applicable codes can be used to calculate the deflection of these two pad foundation since they are the same except their dimension and load magnitude. It can be estimated roughly that, the settlement of the second one would be twice the first one; the dimension of the second one is douRead more
Equations of Applicable codes can be used to calculate the deflection of these two pad foundation since they are the same except their dimension and load magnitude.
It can be estimated roughly that, the settlement of the second one would be twice the first one; the dimension of the second one is doubled whereas its imposed load is quadrupled.

Following table shows maximum bearing capacity values of different types of soils: Types of Soil Bearing Capacity (Kg/m2) Bearing Capacity (kN/m2) Soft, wet clay or muddy clay 5000 50 Soft clay 10000 100 Fine, loose and dry sand 10000 100 Black cotton soil 15000 150 Moist clay and sand clay MixtureRead more
Following table shows maximum bearing capacity values of different types of soils:
Bearing capacity of soil is the maximum load per unit area. This is the ultimate bearing capacity of soil shown in table. Dividing the ultimate soil bearing capacity by a safety factor we get the maximum safe bearing capacity of soil for design of foundations.
