6 General Approach to Foundation Design gduty of Foundation Designer - Establish the most economical design that safely conforms to prescribed structural criteria and properly accounts for the intended function of the structure grational method of design - Evaluate various foundation types
7 Recommended Foundation Design Approach gstep 1: Determine: - Direction, type and magnitude of foundation loads - Tolerable deformations - Special constraints Underclearance requirements Structure type, span lengths Time constraints on construction Extreme event loading Construction load requirements
8 Recommended Foundation Design Approach gstep 2: Evaluate subsurface investigation and laboratory testing data for reliability and completeness Choose design method consistent with quality and quantity of subsurface data
9 Recommended Foundation Design Approach gstep 3: Consider alternate foundation types
10 Foundation Alternatives gshallow Foundations gdeep Foundations - Piles, shafts
11 Foundation Cost g Express foundation capacity in terms of $ g TOTAL cost of foundation system divided by the load supported by the foundation in tons g TOTAL cost of a foundation must include ALL costs associated with the foundations - Need for excavation support system, pile caps, etc. - Environmental restrictions - All other factors as applicable
12 Foundation Cost gif estimated costs of alternative foundation systems during design are within 15%, the alternate foundation designs should be considered for inclusion in contract documents
13 Loads and Limit States gloads - Permanent and Transient - Codes specify load combinations gfoundation limit states - Ultimate Bearing capacity, eccentricity, sliding, global stability, structural capacity - Serviceability Excessive settlement, excessive lateral displacement, structural deterioration of foundation
14 Types of Shallow Foundations gisolated Spread Footings - Length (L) to width (B) ratio, L/B < 10

20 Spread Footing Design Procedure ggeotechnical design of spread footing is a two part process gfirst Part: - Establish an allowable stress to prevent shear failure in soil gsecond Part: - Estimate the settlement under the applied stress
21 Allowable Bearing Capacity g Allowable bearing capacity is lesser of: Applied stress that will result in shear failure divided by FS - Ultimate limit criterion OR Applied stress that results in a specified amount of settlement of the structure - Serviceability criterion
