Three (3D) dimension model of settlement differences of the clay ground under rigid foundation by the affection of the groundwater variations – A comparison

Abstract

In recent decades, settlement differences of the Clay ground implemented in areas and countries in the world. Whereas marine clay ground behaviors under Rigid foundation to build the construction on the clay ground with marine clay origin was evaluated the different methods such as Field and experimental measuring method, Finite Element method, formulas or TERZAGHI method and so on. Moreover, the influence of the groundwater levels is one of the most quite important problems to be needed considering. The object of this paper uses Standard Penetration (SPT), Unconfined Compression Test, and TERZAGHI formula, groundwater effects, and simulation by the software for measuring the vertical displacement (or settlement differences) of the rigid foundation on marine clay origin ground at Vinh Quang ward, Rach Gia town, Viet Nam. Results of the paper described clearly for settlement differences (vertical displacement) of the Rigid foundation as building loading with a comparison between Field, experimental, and software simulation so it can consult effectively for design and doing construction works in Civil and Geology Engineering.
