Soil settlement is a phenomenon that occurs when the ground beneath a structure or infrastructure undergoes a downward movement due to various factors. This movement can have significant implications for the stability and integrity of buildings, bridges, roads, and other civil engineering projects. Understanding the different types of settlement in soil is crucial for civil
