I want to know Schmertmann approximation's(1978) limitation.
Does that Eqns can be applicable to weathered rock ?
Weathered rock has N value of 50/10~ more!!!
Can i use Schmertmann approxiamtion for settlement calculation on that weathered rock ????
Thank u!

Then, model the weak rock layer as a beam on an elastic foundation. You will have to come up with the EI of the rock and the EI of the underlying strata.
