Shallow Foundation Load-Settlement Behavior Assessed from Surface Geophysical Data

Given soil data from the Soil Conservation Service (USDA NRCS) and a shallow geophysical test shear or P wave record, the following method and spreadsheet provide a means for undertaking a preliminary evaluation of the load-settlement response of a shallow foundation at a prospective site. The method follows the stress-strain formulation currently used in laterally loaded pile/shaft response evaluation recognized by AASHTO for large diameter drilled shafts.
