Deep foundations are usually piles or piers which transmits the load of the building to the good bearing stratum.
They usually cost more and require well trained engineers to execute.
If the explored soil layers are soft for considerable depth and no bearing stratum is found at a reasonable depth,
floating foundations could be used.
To build a floating foundation, a mass of soil, approximately equal to the weight of the proposed building, is to be
removed and replaced by the building. In this case, the bearing stress under the building will be equal to the
weight of the removed earth (D) which is less than
(q a = D +2C)
and Dp will be equal to zero. This means that the bearing capacity under the building is less than ( qa ) and the
expected settlement equals theoretically to zero.
Finally, the engineer should prepare an estimate of the cost of the most promising type of foundation which
represents the most acceptable compromise between performance and cost.
Shallow Foundations
Shallow foundations are those executed near the ground surface or at shallow depths. As mentioned before in
the previous chapter, shallow foundations are used when subsoil exploration proves that all soil strata affected
by the building could resist the superimposed stresses (Dp) without causing excessive settlements.
Shallow foundations are either footings or rafts.
Footings
Footing foundation is one of the oldest and most popular type of shallow foundations. A footing is an
enlargement of the base of a column or wall for the purpose of distributing the load on the supporting soil at a
pressure suiting its properties.
Types of Footings
There are different types of footings to suit the nature of the structure. Footings could be classified into three
main classes

Dead Load
The full dead load acting on the elements of the structures should be considered in the design.
Live Load
It is not probable that the full intensity of the live load will be acting at the same time on all the floors of a multistorey building. Consequently, the codes of practice allow a certain reduction in the intensity of live load.
According to the Egyptian Code of practice the following reduction in live load is allowed:
No. of floors
Ground floor
1st floor
2nd floor
10.0 %
3rd floor
20.0 %
4th floor
30.0 %
40.0 %
The live load should not be reduced for ware houses and public buildings such as schools, cinemas, and
hospitals.

It can be assumed that the critical section for punching shear is at the column face and in this case the
allowable punching shear stress can be taken as 10.0 kg/cm2 (for cube strength = 160).

Bond stress is computed as

cross section or steel reinforcement occur. For footings of constant section, the section for bond is at the face of

distributed over the width B. The reinforcement in the short direction (Side B) is calculated from the bending
moment
. In locating the bars in the short direction one has to consider that the support provided to the

footing by the column is concentrated near the middle, consequently the area of footing adjacent to the column
is more effective in resisting bending. For this reason an adjustment of steel in the short direction is made. This

SEMELLES
Single footings should be tied together by beams known as semelles as shown in Fig.19.a. Their function is to
carry the ground floor walls and transfer their loads to the footings. Semelles can prevent relative settlement if
they are of very stiff section and heavily reinforced.
The semelle is designed as continuous reinforced concrete rectangular beam carrying the weight of the wall.
The width of the semelle is equal to the width of the wall plus 5 cm and it should not be less than 25 cm. It
should resist the shearing forces and bending moments to which it is subjected, semelles must
be reinforced at top and bottom to counteract the differential settlements. by the equal reinforcement As.
The top level of the semelle should be 20 cm below the level of the platform surrounding the building. If the level
of the ground floor is higher than that of the platform, the level of the inner semmelle can be taken 20 cm below
the ground floor level

Select another neutral axis (N'-A') parallel to (N-A) but somewhat closer to the location of the resultant
load P acting on the footing.
4- Compute the moment of inertia of the area in compression with respect to the N'-A' . The simplest
procedure is to draw the footing to scale and divide the area into rectangles and triangles
Where the bending moments on a column come from any direction, for example from wind loads, a square
footing-; is preferable unless the space restrictions dictate the choice of rectangular footing. If the bending
moments always act in the same direction, as in columns supporting rigid framed structures, the footing can be
lengthed in the direction of the eccentricity
The dimensions of the footing B and L are proportioned in such a way that the maximum pressure at the toe
does not exceed the allowable soil pressure .
If a column carries a permanent bending moment, for example a bracket carrying a sustained load, it may be
advantage to place the column off centre on the footing so that the eccentricity of the resultant loading is zero In
this case the distribution of the pressure on the base will be uniform. The long toe section of the footing should
be designed as a cantilever about a section through the face of the column, Calculation of the depth to resist
punching shear and wide beam shear is the same as in footings support concentric loads
Since the bending moment at the base of the column is likely to be large for this type of footing, the column
reinforcement should be properly tied into the footing., Reinforcement details for this type of footings are shown
in Fig.24.
For square footing it is generally most convenient to keep bar diameter and spacing the same in both directions
in order to avoid confusion in steel fixing.

Combined Footings
Introduction
The preceding section presented elements of the design of spread and wall footings. This section considers some
of the more complicated shallow-foundation problems. Among these are footings supporting more than one
column in a line (combined footings), which may be rectangular or trapezoidal in shape, or two pads connected by
a beam, as for a strap footing. Eccentrically loaded footings and un-symmetrically shaped footings will also be
considered.

support two columns, as illustrated in Fig.25 and 26, or more than two columns with only slight modification of the
design procedure. These footings are commonly designed by assuming a linear stress distribution on the bottom
of the footing, and if the resultant of the soil pressure coincides with the resultant of the loads (and center of
gravity of the footing), the soil pressure is assumed to be uniformly distributed, The linear pressure distribution
implies a rigid footing on a homogeneous soil. The actual footing is generally not rigid, nor is the pressure uniform
beneath it, but it has been found that solutions using this concept are adequate. This concept also results in a
rather conservative design.

The design of a rigid rectangular footing consists in determining the location of the center of gravity (cg) of the
column loads and using length and width dimensions such that the centroid of the footing and the center of gravity
of the column loads coincide. With the dimensions of the footing established, a shear
and moment diagram can be prepared, the depth selected for shear (again it is conventional to make the depth
adequate for shear without using shear reinforcement to satisfy rigidity requirements implicitly), and reinforcing
steel selected for bending requirements. Critical sections for shear, both diagonal-tension and wide-beam, should
be taken as indicated in the previous section. The maximum positive and negative moments are used to design the
reinforcing steel and will result in steel in both bottom and top of the beam.
In the short direction, obviously, the entire length is not going to be effective in resisting bending. That zone closest
to the column will be most effective for bending, and it is recommended that this approach be used. This is
basically what the ACI Code specifies in Art. 15.4.4 for rectangular footings
If it is accepted that the zone which includes the columns is most effective, what should this zone width be?
Certainly, it should be something greater than the width of the column. Probably it should be no greater than the
column width plus d to 1.5d, depending on the column location based on the author's analytical work, lack of
Code guidance, and recognizing that extra steel will "stiffen" the zone and increase the moments in this zone and
reduce the moment out of the zone. An effective width using this method is illustrated in Fig.27 For the remainder
of the footing in the short direction, the ACI Code requirement for minimum-percentage steel (Art. 10.5 or 7.13)
should be used.

In selecting dimensions for the combined footing, the length dimension is somewhat critical if it is desired to have
shear and moment diagrams mathematically close as an error check. This means that unless the length is exactly
the computed value from the location of the cg of the columns, an eccentricity will be introduced into the footing,
resulting in a nonlinear earth-pressure diagram. The actual as-built length, however, should be rounded to a
practical length, say, to the nearest 0.25 or 0.5 ft (7.5 to 15 cm).
The column loads may be taken as concentrated loads for computing shear and moment diagrams. For design the
shear and moment .values at the edge (face) of the column should be used. The resulting error, using this
approach, is negligible.Fig.(28)

A strap footing consists in two column footings connected by a member termed a strap, beam, or cantilever
which transmits the moment from the exterior footing. Fig.33 illustrates a strap footing. Since the strap is
designed for
moment, either it should be formed out of contact with the soil or the soil should be loosened for several inches
beneath the strap so that the strap has no soil pressure acting on it. For simplicity of analysis, if the strap is. not
very long, the, weight of the strap may be neglected.
In designing a strap footing, it is first necessary to proportion the footings. This is done by assuming a uniform
soil pressure beneath the footings; that is, R1 and R2 (Fig.33) act at the centroid of the footings.

The strap must be a massive member for this solution to be valid. The development of Eq.1 implies rigid body
rotation; thus, if the strap is not able to transmit the eccentric moment from column 1 without rotation, the
solution is not valid. To avoid exterior footing rotation it is recommended to be .

6- Check that the centroid of the areas of the two footings coincide with the resultant of column loads.
7- Calculate the moments and shear at various parts of the strap footing.
8- Design of the strap
The strap represents a single-span beam loaded upward by the loads transferred to it by the two footings
and supported by downward reactions at the centre lines of the two columns. Thus the upward load over
the length L is equal to R1/L t/m'. The location of the maximum moment is obtained by equating the shear
force to zero. The moment decreases toward the interior column and is zero at the center line of that
column. Hence half the strap reinforcement is discontinued where no longer needed and the other half is
continued through the interior column. Check shear stresses and use stirrups, and bent bars if
necessary.
9- Design of the exterior footing
The exterior footing acts exactly like a wall footing of a length equal to L. Even though the column is
located at the edge the balancing action of the strap is such as to transmit the reaction R1 uniformly over
the length L1 thus resulting in the desired uniform soil pressure. The design is carried out exactly as for a
wall footing.
10- Design of the interior footing
The interior footing may be designed as a simple single column footing. The main difference is that the
punching shear should be checked along the perimeter fghj, Fig.33.

RAFT FOUNDATIONS
Introduction
The raft foundation is continuous footing that cover the entire area beneath a structure and supports all the walls
and columns. The term mat is also used for foundation of this type. It is used generally on soil of low bearing
capacity and where the area covered by spread footings is more than half the area covered by the structure. Raft
foundation is also used where the soil mass contains compressible lenses or the soil is sufficiently erratic so that
differential settlement would be difficult to control. The raft tends to bridge over erratic deposits and reduces the
differential settlement.
It was noticed in practice that using an allowable bearing capacity under the raft equal to twice the allowable
bearing capacity determined for an ordinary footing. resting on the same sand will give a reasonable and
acceptable amount of settlement.

If the water table lies at a depth equal to or greater than B, the width of the raft, the allowable bearing capacity,
determined for dry condition, should not be reduced. If there is a possibility that the water table rises up till it
floods the site, the allowable bearing capacity should be reduced by 50%. If the water table is at a depth
intermediate between B and the base of the raft, an appropriate reduction between zero and 50% should be
made.
If the estimated differential settlement under the raft is more than tolerable or if the weight of the building divided
by its area gives a bearing stress greater than the allowable bearing capacity, floating or partially floating
foundation should be considered.
To execute a floating foundation, excavation is to be carried out till a depth D is reached where the weight of the
excavated soil equals to the weight of the structure, figure 2. In this case, the excess superimposed stress p at
foundation level equals to zero and consequently, the building will suffer no settlement.

and the weight of soil removed =Ws

In flexible raft foundation the design cannot be based only on the strength requirements but it is necessary to be
subjected due to the predicted settlement. The thickness and the amount of reinforcement of the raft should be
selected in a such way to prevent development of cracks in the slab. As the differential settlement is not
considered in the structural design it is customary to reinforce the raft with twice its theoretical amount of
reinforcement. The quantity of the steel may be taken as 1% of the cross sectional area divided at top and
bottom. The thickness of the slab should not be greater than 0.01 of the radius of curvature. The thickness may
be .increased near columns to prevent shear failure.
