description In this paper, a nonlinear deformation modulus method is proposed for foundation settlement calculation. In the proposed method, the nonlinear deformation modulus under different stress levels is obtained from the load-settlement curve of in situ loading test, which are then applied to the layerwise summation method for calculating foundation settlement. On this basis and referring to the Duncan-Chang model, a variable modulus constitutive model suitable for numerical calculation of foundation settlement is further proposed. The required parameters of this model are the same as those of the nonlinear deformation modulus method and can be determined by the in situ loading test. The validity of the proposed calculation methods of foundation settlement is verified by the in situ loading tests under different plate sizes. The results illustrate that both the nonlinear deformation modulus method and the variable modulus constitutive model compare quite well with the test results, and the deduced results can better reflect the nonlinearity of foundation settlement.
