Key Concepts
-
Term: Settlement Calculation
Definition: The method used to determine how much a structure will settle or compress due to loads applied to the soil.
-
Term: Field Deposit Compression
Definition: The process whereby soil deposits undergo reduction in volume due to applied pressure, impacting overall stability and design.
