Civillery Zone, Settlement in a structure refers to the distortion or disruption
of parts of a building due to either; unequal compression of its
foundations, shrinkage such as that which occurs in timber framed
buildings as the frame adjusts its moisture content, or by undue loads
being applied to the building after its initial construction. Settlement should not be confused with subsidence
which results from the load-bearing ground upon which a building sits
reducing in level, for instance in areas of mine workings where shafts
collapse underground.(Source : Wikipedia)
