Abstract: The present study deals with the effect of moisture con• ,tent on settlements and ultimate hearinq capacities of soil footing system at constant reI tivt densities. Hence a clear concept of water content on settlements has been in .roducod in -chc field of soil Mechanics and Foundation Engi ec.r.ingi Fo±mulao to determine s etticmeft corresponding, to known pressures., relative dlensl ty, effective density (which takes into account the effect of water content) wicl-i.h and depth of founc:ati.on have been clevalaped 'first time in the field of foundation Fngineerinq. a resu It of this s tuuy, method of des 5.gnnq the footing based on settlement criterion may new be used mc.re confi.c t`iy..., Tests were nerformed on tcutanns of sizes 3 cm x 3 cm, 5 cm x 5 cm, 3 cm x 6 cm and 3 cm x 18 stn: All th. e tests were conducted on Raninur send in four different ccndd1tienS i..-e. dry:• wet, saturatedd and sukmorged at two constant rr-1at? ve densities, 74% and 46.4%.. The foe tings were 'yes -sed both at the surface and lJf a-~-, depth such that = 1. By analysing the data', equations f for estimatinq the settlements at any e.f..fectivel density and stress level fur both the relative densities were established. it was ohs erved that water plays an important role in changing the settlements and unit u1timats bearing capacities at constant relative density,,
