Abstract
In many cases, the prediction of settlements of footings on sands involves use of empirical rules. Although many approaches are reported in the literature, the relative accuracy of these methods for settlement predictions has not been evaluated in detail. In this paper, nine of such procedures are reviewed and then applied in 71 case histories. Each of these prediction methods is statistically analyzed, based upon a comparison of the predicted and observed settlements.
