It's not only areas with loose soils, areas with soft clay, reclaimed lands and areas with refilled pits, mines or wells, or lands with water bodies may experience settlement more than naturally settled lands.

Whatever solutions to be employed must be done after scientific studies has been done to ascertain the strength of the soil, that will now lead architects and engineers to recommend a foundation design. A ground beam may not be enough to prevent differential settlement if the soil bearing capacity or other factors make it necessary to use other methods like piling or raft.

Thank u sir

spyder880:
Avoiding differential settlement starts from processes followed before the house construction is started. We should get soil samples tested in labs to establish their safe bearing capacities. Some soils are weak while some are stronger, many times, clients will want to skip this important investigation due to the added cost.

The soil sample will provide information on the expected future behaviour of the soil when the building loads has been imposed on it. This will in turn inform the designers of the building on the types of foundation to plan for. Its not every land that a specific foundation can work on, and two lands in the same area can have different sub soils, prompting different foundation designs.

Another point to note is wrong construction methods for even foundations designed properly, some people who know a lot less, or not trained in the profession can initiate work with the right foundation suited for a land and still mess up the work. Sometimes, it's as a result of trying to cut corners or inadequate supervision time to stay around and monitor each process. Wrong use of mixing ratios, wrong size and placement of reinforcement rods, wrong applications of curing periods and ignoring basic engineering rules like levels and lines can create problems for the foundation.

Most cracks you see on walls run from deep inside the ground, and are caused when a part of the foundation sinks deeper than another side of the same foundation due to the building load, during or after construction. All buildings settle after construction, at least to up to 5mm minimum. But problem starts when some sides are settling in excess of 25-50mm or more.

Thanks sir.
From your lecture, seems this differential settlement is highly associated with areas with loose soil?

Will having a ground beam in place of the normal concrete blinding for foundation go a long in reducing this?

The usual suspect is a defect known as differential settlement.

Is there any way one can possibly avoid this differential settlement sir?
