Settlement in Foundation due to Load applied on Foundation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Settlement in Foundation = ((Load Intensity*Width of Footing)/(Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Width of Footing+2*Coefficient dependent on internal friction*Depth of Footing+Coefficient dependent on cohesion))
Δ = ((q_f*B)/(C₁*B+2*C₁*D+C₂))
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Settlement in Foundation - (Measured in Meter) - Settlement in Foundation is vertical movement of foundation due to applied load.
Load Intensity - (Measured in Pascal) - Load Intensity is defined as load applied per unit area.
Width of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.
Coefficient dependent on internal friction - Coefficient dependent on internal friction depend upon angle of internal friction.
Depth of Footing - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Footing is the longer dimension of the footing.
Coefficient dependent on cohesion - Coefficient dependent on cohesion usually determined by bearing-plate loading tests.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load Intensity: 0.005 Megapascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient dependent on internal friction: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Depth of Footing: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Coefficient dependent on cohesion: 10 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Δ = ((q_f*B)/(C₁*B+2*C₁*D+C₂)) --> ((5000*2)/(10*2+2*10*15.2+10))

Evaluating ... ...

Δ = 29.940119760479

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

29.940119760479 Meter -->29940.119760479 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

29940.119760479 ≈ 29940.12 Millimeter <-- Settlement in Foundation
