Q. Settlement due to Increasing Load on Surrounding Soil?

When any portion of the ground surface  has been loaded, it causes  the surface  of adjacent soil also to tilt and settle. The amount,of tilt will depend on the nature and type of  subsoil. If subsoil consists of soft clay,  the effect of  the weight of a new  structure on the neighbouring structure  can be quite high. It may cause extra settlement  due to old structure. Such tilt may not be detrimental to the structure.
