2. TYPES OF SETTLEMENT

4. Sands x Clays Sands: Clays: Du=0 Du>0 Large hydraulic conductivity
negligible
Sands:
Large hydraulic conductivity
Excess pore pressure Du dissipates fast
Settlement due to both distortion and compression (volumetric) of the soil mass
Clays:
Settlement due to distortion only
(no volume change)
Settlement due to consolidation (volume change) and creep
Du>0
Small hydraulic conductivity
Excess pore pressure generation
Long-term settlement occurs as result of the dissipation of the excess pore pressures generated by the load application
