SETTLEMENTS ON SAND
- Thread starter geohec
- Start date
Not a Florida geotechnical engineer and don't have a spreadsheet. I could give you some persepctive however. . .
I'd correlate SPT to soil modulus (7N) and the use Boussinesq to evaluate the change in vertical effective stress with depth. I'd then subdivide modulus layers and then integrate the stress profile within each of these modulus layers (i.e., determine the "area" of the stress profile). I'd divide the integril by the modulus and have the anticipated settlement for that layer. Use consistent units!
