| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 106 === The materials we face in geotechnical engineering are often resulting from natural process, and thus heterogeneous. However, for the purpose of convenience, many calculations are based on homogeneity hypothesis. So it is important to have a representative estimate of the value.
To estimate effective Young’s modulus, Ching and Hu (2017) introduced the pseudo incremental energy model to calculate the weights and the weighted geometric average Young’s modulus. Based on their result, this study focus on the tilt and differential settlement. Due to the similarity, the two values might have strong relation or similar estimation process.
As a result, one can estimate the settlement of a shallow foundation caused only by the load on it by pseudo incremental energy model, and the difference between the two values would be almost the same as the differential settlement when both the loads exist. Also, by viewing as two foundations, the tilt of foundation can be estimated by the differential settlement times 2.581.
