An example of a settlement analysis in which the
the pressure void ratio curve is fairly straight, it may be
rebound
of
the
foundation
and
subsequent
convenient to work with the compression index, in which
recompression under the building load are determined is
case the formula for settlement is as follows:
shown in figure 5-4 for a normally consolidated
∆H =
foundation.

b. Rate of settlement. The rate of settlement

is determined by means of the theory of consolidation.
