Abstract

The results of pressure settlement of square footing resting on dry Jerash expansive soil, and on wet Jerash expansive soil show that as the dimension of square footing resting on dry Jerash expansive soil increase, the bearing capacity and the settlement also increase. on the other hand, the behavior of square footing resting on wet Jerash expansive soil show that there is on effect of the dimension of the square footing on the bearing capacity of the soil and on the two cases, the settlement of the footing is about 8%of the footing diameter.
