Settlement predictions of footings on sands using probabilistic analysis

The design of footings on sands is often controlled by settlement rather than bearing capacity. Therefore, settlement predictions are essential in the design of shallow foundations. However, predicted settlements of footings are highly dependent on the chosen elastic modulus and the used method. Thi...
