Calculating settlement
Calculating settlement
(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to calculate predicted settlement from oedometer tests (e log p curve). I know how to calculate the collapse with the formula((eo-e1)/1+eo)*100. But dont know how to arrive at total settlement.

Good luck - this should have been covered in your geotechnical training.

S = [Cc/(1+eo)*log ((po+Dp)/po)]*H(thickness of soil)
Look for Braja Das Geotechnical Engineering book.
good luck
