Dimensioning of the isolated foundations under columns

Geological investigations and land stratification: Two geotechnical drills were executed, reaching the depth of -2.00 m. The geotechnical drills aimed at establishing of the following particularities of the site: - ground stratification; - the position of the groundwater hydrostatic level and variability; - physical and mechanical characteristics of soil layers; - estimation of absolute deformations, which can appear; - assessments on the overall stability of the site; Foundation soil stratification: 0,00...-0,40 m topsoil - 0,40...-1,10 m - light brown hard clay - 1,10...-2,00 m - brown clay The recommended minimum foundation depth Df = -1,1 m Geotechnical parameters for foundation at the recommended depth: = 23,3 kN/m3 Ic = 0,79 (consistency index) w = 38,4 (natural humidity) = 18 (angle of internal friction) c = 25 KN/m2 (specific cohesion) e = 0,8 (porosity index) a) Foundation predemensioning calculation based on conventional pressure. 1.1 Establishing minimum depth of foundation: Df1 = 1.00 m Df1 = Hfrost + 0,10...0,30 m; Hfrost = -0,70 m Df2 = 1.60 m Df2 = Hter.bun + 0.30...0.50 m; Hter.bun = -1,10 m Df = max(Df1 , Df2) = 1.60 m 1.2 Establishing the plan dimensions of the base isolated foundation under the rigid connected column. = 1.20 Condition: pef.max pcon and pef.min 0 Plan dimensions of the foundation are: length L, width B L = 1,4 m; B = 1,4 m; L/B = 1 1.2.1.

Conventional pressure corrections: a) Depth correction: Df < 2 m => CD = pcon kN/m2
