FOUNDATION SETTLEMENTS 303 5-6 IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT COMPUTATIONS The settlement of the comer of a rectangular base of dimensions B’ X L’ on the surface of an elastic half-space can be computed from an equation from the Theory of Elasticity (c.2., ‘Timoshenko and Goodier (1951)] as follows: 1-2 1-2 AH = qoB'—*(h + I 5-16 4 E, h += ae lr (5-16) where qo = intensity of contact pressure in units of Es BY = least lateral dimension of contributing base area in units of AH 1; = influence factors, which depend on L’/B’, thickness of stratum H, Poisson's ratio 42, and base embedment depth D E,, w= elastic soil parameters—see Tables 2-7, 2-8, and 5-6 The influence factors (see Fig. 5-7 for identification of terms) /; and J2 can be computed using equations given by Steinbrenner (1934) as follows: 1 (1+ JM? + 1) JM? +N?
