Foundations
`
A foundation
transfers the load of
the superstructure
to the soil.
Foundations
(1) What type of foundation be adopted ?
(2) How Deep Foundation be placed, if shallow fnd ?
(3) How much completed building will settle?
Uniform settlement / differential settlement?
(4) For what stresses and stress distribution,
foundation be designed?
Type of Foundations
Strip/continuous footings
`
Strip/continuous footings
Strap Footing
`
Strap Footing
Combined Footing
`
Used when the two columns are so close that their individual
footings overlap. Also provided when the property line is so
close to one column that a spread footing would be
eccentrically loaded By combining it with that of an interior
column, the load is evenly distributed.

Settlement
Cracks are caused by Angular distortion /l
, differential settlement, is very
difficult to predict.
Total settlement is not so
harmful and can be predicted.
Total settlement provides upper
l
limit to . Hence acceptable is
taken equal to total settlement.
For footings, = 50-75 mm
For Raft, = 75-125 mm (Sand-clay)- IS code
Pressure that produces acceptable settlement
is known as safe bearing pressure. (FS=1).
