👉Foundation Settlement refers to the downward movement of a building’s foundation due to changes in the underlying soil or loading conditions.

⏺It typically occurs when the soil beneath the foundation can no longer support the structure’s weight

🚧While some degree of settlement is normal , excessive or uneven settlement can compromise the integrity of the entire structure.

💫Engineers classify settlement into two main types: uniform settlement and differential settlement.
