pad foundation on fill
pad foundation on fill
(OP)
I'm asked to design a pad footing of 25 ton working load capacity on a filled ground.
There's no test conducted in the borrow source(from the adjacrnt hill with no ground water detected) but the fill material seems to be stiff clay (light brown color). The compaction seems to achieve 95% MDD according to the contractor eventhough I don't have the density of the fill material. What is the typical settlment value?
Will ther be excessive settlement ?

Just a few things you need to consider.

what other field test can be used? what about sample plasticity index? Settlement is always related to compressibility.
