Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three common components of shallow foundation settlement are uniform, tilt/rotation, and differential. With uniform settlement, all elements of the shallow foundation settle equally. Tilt or rotation settlement can result in drainage issues, surface cracks, and damage to underlying systems such as foundation drains or buried infrastructure. Differential settlement, resulting in angular distortion, may occur because of a deformation in the structure that the foundation is supporting.
