The column is on the ground floor of a three storey building and the length is 4.5m. The cover is 30mm, main bars are 20mm and the links are 10mm diameter.

5 Eurocode 7 Eurocode 7 has two parts: Part 1: General Rules Plus NA Part 2: Ground Investigation and testing Plus NA 6 (p43 et seq) Eurocode 7 How to 6. Foundations The essential features of EC7, Pt 1 relating to foundation design are discussed. Note: This publication covers only the design of simple foundations, which are a small part of EC7. It should not be relied on for general guidance on EC7. Lecture 10: Foundations 5

6 Limit States The following ultimate limit states apply to foundation design: EQU: Loss of equilibrium of the structure STR: Internal failure or excessive deformation of the structure or structural member GEO: Failure due to excessive deformation of the ground UPL: Loss of equilibrium due to uplift by water pressure HYD: Failure caused by hydraulic gradients Categories of Structures Category Description 1 Small and relatively simple structures 2 Conventional types of structure no difficult ground Risk of geotechnical failure Negligible No exceptional risk Examples from EC7 None given Spread foundations 3 All other structures Abnormal risks Large or unusual structures Lecture 10: Foundations 6

7 EC7 ULS Design EC7 provides for three Design Approaches UK National Annex - Use Design Approach 1 DA1 For DA1 (except piles and anchorage design) there are two sets of combinations to use for the STR and GEO limit states. Combination 1 generally governs structural resistance Combination 2 generally governs sizing of foundations STR/GEO ULS Actions partial factors Combination 1 Permanent Actions Leading variable action Accompanying variable actions Unfavourable Favourable Main Others Exp G k 1.0G k 1.5Q k 1.5ψ 0,i Q k Exp 6.10a 1.35G k 1.0G k 1.5ψ 0,1 Q k 1.5ψ 0,i Q k Exp 6.10b 1.25G k 1.0G k 1.5Q k 1.5ψ 0,i Q k Combination 2 Exp G k 1.0G k 1.3Q k 1.3ψ 0,i Q k Notes: If the variation in permanent action is significant, use G k,j,sup and G k,j,inf If the action is favourable, γ Q,i = 0 and the variable actions should be ignored Lecture 10: Foundations 7

9 Geotechnical Report The Geotechnical Report should: be produced for each project (if even just a single sheet) contain details of: the site, interpretation of ground investigation report, geotechnical recommendations, advice Foundation design recommendations should state: bearing resistances, characteristic values of soil parameters and whether values are SLS or ULS, Combination 1 or Combination 2 values Spread Foundations EC7 Section 6 Three methods for design: Direct method check all limit states: Load and partial factor combinations (as before) q ult =c N c s c d c i c g c b c + q N q s q d q i q g q b q +γ BN γ s γ d γ i γ g γ b γ /2 where c = cohesion q = overburden γ = body-weight N i = bearing capacity factors s i = shape factors d i = depth factors i i = inclination factors g i = ground inclination factors b i = base inclination factors We just bung it in a spreadsheet Settlement often critical See Decoding Eurocode 7 by A Bond & A Harris, Taylor & Francis Lecture 10: Foundations 9

10 Spread Foundations EC7 Section 6 Three methods for design: Direct method check all limit states Indirect method experience and testing used to determine SLS parameters that also satisfy ULS Prescriptive methods use presumed bearing resistance (BS8004 quoted in NA). Used in subsequent slides). Spread Foundations Design procedures in: Lecture 10: Foundations 10

14 Pad foundation Worked example Worked Example Design a square pad footing for a mm column carrying G k = 600 kn and Q k = 505 kn. The presumed allowable bearing pressure of the non-aggressive soil is 200 kn/m 2. Answer: Category 2. So using prescriptive methods: Base area: ( )/200 = 5.525m 2 => 2.4 x 2.4 base x 0.5m (say) deep. Lecture 10: Foundations 14

15 Worked Example Use C30/37 concrete Loading = 1.35 x x 505 = kn ULS bearing pressure = /2.4 2 = 272 kn/m 2 Critical section at face of column M Ed = 272 x 2.4 x / 2 = 343 knm d = = 434 mm K = 343 x10 6 /(2400 x x30) = Worked Example z = 0.95d = 0.95 x 434 = 412mm A s = M Ed /f yd z = 343 x 10 6 / (435 x 412) = 1914mm 2 Provide 250 c/c b.w (2010 mm 2 ) (804 mm 2 /m) Beam shear: Check critical section d away from column face V Ed = 272 x ( ) = 161kN/m v Ed = 161 / 434 = 0.37MPa ρ = 2010/ (434 x 2400) = = 0.19% v Rd,c (from table) = 0.42MPa => beam shear ok. 6/Table 6 (p47) Concise Table 15.6 Lecture 10: Foundations 15

29 Piles Flexural and axial resistance of piles Uncertainties related to the cross-section of cast in place piles and concreting procedures shall be allowed for in design In the absence of other provisions, the design diameter of cast in place piles without permanent casing is less than the nominal diameter D nom : D d = D nom 20 mm for D nom < 400 mm D d = 0.95 D nom for 400 D nom 1000 mm D d = D nom 50 mm for D nom > 1000 mm ICE Specification for piling and embedded retaining walls (ICE SPERW) B states The dimensions of a constructed pile or wall element shall not be less than the specified dimensions. A tolerance of 5% on auger diameter, casing diameter, and grab length and width is permissible. Lecture 10: Foundations 29

30 Flexural and axial resistance of piles The partial factor for concrete, γ c, should be multiplied by a factor, k f, for calculation of design resistance of cast in place piles without permanent casing. The UK value of k f = 1.1, therefore γ c,pile = 1.65 If the width of the compression zone decreases in the direction of the extreme compression fibre, the value η f cd should be reduced by 10% Bored piles Reinforcement should be detailed for free flow of concrete. Minimum diameter of long. reinforcement = 16mm Minimum number of longitudinal bars = 6 [BUT BS EN 1536 Execution of special geotechnical work Bored Piles says 12 mm and 4 bars!] Minimum areas: Pile cross Min area of long.
