2). Settlement of foundation
The settlement tends to be controlled via the
following:
Use of a larger foundation to produce lower soil
contact pressures.
Displaced volume of soil (flotation effect);
theoretically if the weight of excavation equals the
combined weight of the structure and mat, the
system "floats" in the soil mass and no settlement
occurs.

Bridging effects attributable to
a. Mat rigidity.
b. Contribution of superstructure rigidity to the mat.

Where,
4 EcI
k = modulus of subgrade reaction in KN/m3
B = width of raft in cm
Ec = modulus of elasticity of concrete in MPa
Z = moment of inertia of the raft in m4
Depth of Foundation :
The depth of foundation shall generally be not less than 1 m.
