Diapositiva 4 In his landmark paper in 1927 entitled The Science of Foundations, Karl Terzaghi wrote:
“Foundation problems, throughout, are of such character that a strictly theoretical mathematical treatment will always be impossible. The only way to handle them efficiently consists of finding out, first, what has happened on preceding jobs of a similar character; next, the kind of soil on which the operations were performed; and, finally, why the operations have led to certain results. By systematically accumulating such knowledge, the empirical data being well defined by the results of adequate soil investigations, foundation engineering could be developed into a semi-empirical science. . . .”
“The bulk of the work—the systematic accumulation of empirical data—remains to be done.”

Diapositiva 11 Elastic Settlement, Se
Existing methods for predicting settlement may be grouped into three categories:
A — Methods in which observed settlement of structures are linked to in situ test results (standard penetration test, cone penetration test, Pressuremeter tests)
B — Semi-empirical method
C — Use of theory of elasticity and modulus of elasticity, Es

If N60(a) [or N60(a)] is decreasing with depth, calculate z‘ = 2B and z‘ = distance from the bottom of the foundation to the bottom of the soft soil layer (z“ ).
Use z‘ = 2B or z‘ = z“, whichever is smaller.

6. Determine Is.
7. Use an equation from theory of elasticity to
calculate Se.
8. Calculate Se /B. Is it equal to assumed Se /B ?
9. If so, the calculated Se in Step 7 is the answer.
10. If not, use Se /B from Step 8 to obtain the new KE.
11. Repeat Steps 5, 7 and 8 until the assumed and
calculated Se /B are equal.

Diapositiva 90 COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS
1. Meyerhof’s relations (1965) simple to use. On the average, will give Se(predicted)/Se(observed) 1.5 to 2.0.
2. Peck & Bazaraa method (1969) is not superior to that of Meyerhof (1965).
3. Burland & Burbidge (1965) is an improved method over that of Meyerhof (1965) and Peck & Bazaraa (1969).
Difficult to estimate overconsolidation pressure from field exploration.

Diapositiva 91 4. Modified strain influence factor methods of
Schmertmann et al. (1978), Terzaghi et al. (1996), Salgado (2008) and Lee et al. (2008) will give reasonable results with proper values of Es .
5. Suggested Es relations:
6. The Es (L/B = 1) relationship can be related to N60 via D50 .

Diapositiva 92 7. Pressuremeter method of developing load-
settlement relationship is very effective, but may not be cost effective.
8. L1 – L2 (Akbas and Kulhawy) is a good method. However proper assumption of E and needed to estimate QL2.
9. Relationships for settlement developed using theory of elasticity will give equally good results provided a realistic Es is used. Use of iteration method is suggested.
If not, used Terzaghi et al.’s relationship (1996).

What we have seen is a systematic
accumulation of knowledge over 60 years.
The parameters for comparing settlement
prediction methods are accuracy and
reliability.
Reliability is the probability that the actual
settlement would be less than that computed
by a specific method.

Diapositiva 96 In choosing a method for design, it all comes
down to keeping a critical balance between reliability and accuracy, which can be difficult at times, knowing the non-homogeneous nature of soil in general. We cannot be over-conservative but, at the same time, not be accurate.
We need to keep in mind what Karl Terzaghi said in the 45th James Forrest Lecture at the Institute of Civil Engineers in London: “Foundation failures that occur are no longer‘an act of God’.”
