GENERAL FOUNDATIONS ANALYSIS

As per Geotechnical Report for the Subsoil Investigation ALHartha WTP BASRAH IRAQ - dated DEC. 2011 BY Al- Alhmed
Bureau
CASE OF ISOLATED FOOTING:
Bearing pressure quall = 35 kpa = 0.35 kg/cm2 at 1 & 2 & 3 m depth
CASE OF RAFT FOUNDATION:
Bearing pressure quall = 40 kpa = 0.40 kg/cm2 at 2 & 3 & 4 m depth
IN CASE OF ISOLATED FOOTING:
The design of R.C. footing Based on stresses = 2.0 kg /cm2
The design of P.C. under R.C.footing Based on stresses = 1.0 kg /cm2
The soil stabilization 1.0 m depth under P.C. footing Based on
Stresses =0.25 kg /cm2
IN CASE OF RAFT FOUNDATION:
The design of R.C. footing Based on stresses = 1.0 kg /cm2
30 cm thick of P.C. under R.C. footing Based distribute stresses
The soil stabilization 1.0 m depth under P.C. footing Based on
Stresses = 0.25- 0.35 kg /cm2
As per mentioned notes in the drawing
The soil stabilization consist of equal (gatch + gravel + sand +
100 kg/m3 resistance cement )
The bearing capacity at the top surface of soil stabilization layer
should be not less than 1.0 kg /cm2
Plate load test should be applied before construction the foundations
CALCULATIONS STRESSES:(1.0m x1.0 m) at top layer of soil stabilization
Stresses =1.0 kg/cm2
At bottom layer of soil stabilization area (2.0 m x2.0 m)
Stresses = 0.25 kg/cm2
0.25 kg/cm2

less than

0.35 kg/cm2
