Thank you for your reply
I am aware it is transient, and it will not produce a lot of settlement difference because it is transient, can act from different directions and it is cohesive soil, so water won’t have time to dissipate.
I am designing foundation so the bearing capacity will be ok...
Hi,
Low plasticity CLAY.
Square raft foundation 9m x 9m x 1m deep
Dead load ~400kN
Overturning moment for wind load case (1 in 50 years probability, 3 second gust wind speed) ~10 000 kNm
Question is about settlement.
The settlement difference when wind load is applies is excessive.
However...
