    Uploaded by

    m_zaman76
    This document calculates the estimated settlement of a foundation using the Schmertmann method. It provides inputs for material properties, foundation size, applied loads, soil pressures, settlement factors, and calculates the estimated settlement. The estimated settlement of 0.0175m is compared to the acceptable limit of 0.02m and found to be satisfactory.
