A Field Study on Settlement of Shallow Foundation on Clayey Sand
Keywords:
Shallow foundation, Settlement, Capacity of soilAbstract
This research aimed to study settlement of shallow foundation by field models with the square and circle shape steel plate that both had equal section area. It used criteria at depth -1.00 meter on poorly graded sand and clayey sand that had average water content 27.10 %. Moreover considered to design bearing load 10 tons /square meter and ultimate loading capacity of soil 30 tons / square meter with safety factor ratio 3 as well as use 3 sample for each test case. The results found the settlement values of circle and square steel plate showed 2.81 and 3.19 millimeters, respectively, effectively reduced the settlement induced by the model test loading passed through circular foundations was about 12% less than square foundations.
