Foundations are designed to transfer all types of loads coming from structure to the soil safely
Foundation classification
(A)Shallow Foundation: D/B 1
D- Depth of Foundation B- Width of foundation
- Load transfer at shallow depth Examples: Strip footing, Spread footings- Both isolated and combined raft or mat foundation
(A)Normal open cast foundation: Normal depth 3m (B) Special open cast RCC foundation
- Shallow depth foundation - Shallow depth with raised chimney foundation - Unequal chimney foundation - Unequal leg with raised chimney foundation
Design requirements
Classification of foundations
Foundations are classified based on soil type and subsoil water level and listed below: - Normal dry - Sandy dry - Wet - Partially submerged (PS) - Fully submerged (FS) - Black cotton soil (WBC) - Dry fissured rock (DFR) - Wet fissured rock (WFR) - Submerged fissured rock (SFR) - Hard rock (HR)
shape
Normal fissured rock foundation and foundation with unequal chimney extn.
Foundation loads
Following Ultimate foundation loads acting at the tower base (along the tower slope) are considered: Down thrust (Compression)
Uplift (Tension)
Transverse side thrust
Soil parameters
Stability Checks
Check for bearing capacity Check for uplift capacity Check for overturning Check for sliding
