An Improved Nonlinear Settlement Calculation Method for Soft Clay considering Structural Characteristics

The settlement calculation model for soft clay foundation is established based on Hooke’s law and the Duncan-Chang model. By introducing the concept of damage ratio, the method for determining the deformation modulus of soil before and after damage under load is presented, and a nonlinear settlement...
