The SCPT has the advantage of continuously recording cone resistance and friction resistance as depth increases up to the important zone beneath a foundation. The Schmertmann technique yields lower settlement than the De Beer-Marten approach for all the values of foundation widths and net pressures. The fact that soil stiffness increases significantly with depth, as demonstrated by field standard penetration test data, shows that settlement does not vary continuously with size.

摘要

Prior to the construction of an engineering structure, it is imperative to assess the site’s suitability for accommodating the intended structure. This requirement can be achieved by conducting design data analysis. This necessitates the acquisition of field test data obtained from penetration tests such as Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT), and Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT), as well as plate load tests. These tests were conducted at six different locations in Karnataka state to assess settlement conditions. The data collected from multiple field tests, including the Standard Cone Penetration Test (SCPT), Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT), and plate load tests, were acquired at depths ranging from 7.25 to 8.5 m. The Schmertmann and De Beer-Marten procedures were used to compare the load settlement pattern and quantity of settlement. Settlement data from various methodologies such as SPT, SCPT, and PLT were compared. The De Beer, Marten, and Schmertmann method and the SPT method were used to conduct a thorough examination of the thickness and estimated settlement. The impact of varying widths of footings on the magnitude of settlement was also analyzed. A correlation was developed between static cone penetration resistance (SCPT) and standard penetration test settlement, as well as dynamic cone penetration (DCPT). The SCPT has the advantage of continuously recording cone resistance and friction resistance as depth increases up to the important zone beneath a foundation. The Schmertmann technique yields lower settlement than the De Beer-Marten approach for all the values of foundation widths and net pressures. The fact that soil stiffness increases significantly with depth, as demonstrated by field standard penetration test data, shows that settlement does not vary continuously with size. This action cancels out the effect of heavier soil contributing to settlement.
