Settlement Analysis of Embedded Foundation Resting on Elastic Soil
Publication: Pavement and Geotechnical Engineering for Transportation
Abstract
The paper first analyzes the embedment depth effect including Gibson effect, trench effect, side-wall contact effect, retaining wall effect and floating foundation effect. A new settlement calculation model for embedded foundation resting on elastic soil is presented. According to the present model, Groth & Chapman, a solution can be used to calculate the settlement of the rectangular embedded foundation. In conclusion, the influences of parameters including the ratio of depth to length α, ratio of length to width β, compensation ratio χ and Poisson's ratio ν on the reduction coefficient of embedded foundation are discussed in detail and some valuable conclusions are made for engineering practice.
