Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of analyzing load-settlement characteristics of a top-base foundation. The method includes the step of inputting properties of a material of a top base, a basic size of footing configuration, and a load of a structure, the step of inputting the kind of ground and a base ground thickness, the step of determining an influential depth and a load dispersion angle depending on the kind of ground, the step of inputting properties of the ground, the step of determining an immediate settlement amount of the ground, and the step of determining a total settlement amount. The method according to the present invention can precisely determine settlement taking into account footing configuration. Furthermore, the method calculates the settlement taking into account consolidation settlement when the ground is cohesive soil ground or top-cohesive-soil and bottom-sandy-soil ground. Thus, the settlement can be precisely determined.
