Yes. Certainly appears to be settlement. Do you have a question?
 
how we can improvement the settlement of concrete mat foundation?
 
does the bad compaction soil under slab mat foundation case the crack and settlement?
 
NO.

The load on the top of the slab, copmbined with the lack of compaction and the fact that the matt was not designed to span the area caused the cracking.

It's not just one thing here. It's a combination of things.
