AS PER SETTLEMENT CRITERIA
AS PER IS 8009-1 CLOUSE No. 9.0

Bore hole no. : BH-1

Length of footing = L = 3.00
Width of footing = B = 3.00
Depth of footing below ground level = D = 2.00
Average density of soil above foundation γ b 1.698
Average density of soil at foundation γ b 1.791
q = γ* D = over burden Pressure 3.58
Water table effect = W' = 1.00
SAY Q safe =( t/m2) 10.00

B= 3
qn (tonnes)= 57.762 depth = 2.00 m
ϒb = 1.698 t/m3

Layer 1 Thickness = 3.00 m eo = 0.69

ϒb = 1.791 t/m3 Cc = 0.189

Layer 2 Thickness = 3.00 m eo = 0.71

ϒb = 1.822 t/m3 Cc = 0.225

Layer 3 Thickness = 3.00 m eo = 0.68

ϒb = 1.864 t/m3 Cc = 0.252

Stress at depth = 11.00 m = 0.228044 t/m2 , Which is

3.55319261 % of original 6.42 t/m 2
at foundation level.
This much low stress will not cause any considerable settlement in subsequent layers,
hence calculation for consolidated settlement is done upto depth = 11.00 m only.
Layer information
Layer 1 (From depth 2.00 to 5.00 m )
Calculation of stresses
Stresses at center of layer 1 according to

Calculation of settlement
Compression index = Cc = 0.189
Initial void ratio = eo = 0.69
Depth of compressible layer = H c = 3.00 m

Calculation of settlement
Compression index = Cc = 0.225
Initial void ratio = eo = 0.71
Depth of compressible layer = H c = 3.00 m
Consolidated settlement = S = (Cc/(1+eo))*Hc*log10 [(Po+∆p)/Po]

37.66 mm which is less than 40 hence, ok
Recommended safe bearing capacity based on settlement criteria is = 10 t/m2
