What is Schmertmann Method Settlement Analysis about?

A CPT test was performed at a farm near Vancouver, where young normally consolidated sands and silts were found. The groundwater table was at a depth of 2 meters. A 375 kN/m load will be supported by a 2.5 meter by 30 meter footing at a depth of 2 meters. The document asks to use the Schmertmann method to calculate the settlement of the footing soon after construction and after 50 years using the provided CPT results.
