Settlement (N Values)

This document provides an analysis of settlement for shallow foundations based on N-values from soil investigations. It calculates factors such as the depth factor, net allowable bearing pressure, and expected settlement for different foundation designs based on soil conditions including a design water table depth of 1.0 m. Square foundations with widths of 3.5-4.0 m, depths of 1.0-1.0 m, and net allowable bearing pressures of 17.0-17.9 tonnes/m^2 are recommended based on design N-values of 3.5-4.0.
