Settlement of Soil while Digging
Abstract: While digging of soft soil, collapse of soil takes place. When load of man is more than bearing strengthof soft soil, the soil will settle down. Hence bearing strength of mud soil is found at a particular depthand this is compared with load coming due to man. If weight of man is more as compared to bearingstrength of wet soil, the settlement will occur. The process of excavation in soft …
