    INTRODUCTION

    ENGR. BARTHOLOMEW ATOM BACON


    Introduction
    The foundation is the part of an
    engineered system that transmits
    to, and into, the underlying soil
    or rock the loads supported by the
    foundation and its self-weight
    (Bowles, 1997).
    A structure is no stronger than
    its connections.
    Introduction
    Foundation Engineer must be
    multidisciplinary and possess a
    working knowledge in each of the
    following areas (Coduto, 2001):
    Structural Engineering
    Geotechnical Engineering
    Construction Engineering
    Introduction
    Classification of Foundations
    1. Shallow Foundations
    2. Deep Foundations
    Shallow Foundations
    Shallow
    Foundations
    Transmit the
    structural loads
    to the near-
    surface soils
    D/B < 1

    Geotechnical Structural
    Design Design
    Soil Bearing Designing for
    Capacity Shear
    Settlement Designing for
    Flexure

    Bearing
    Deep Foundations
    Deep Foundations
    Transmit some or
    all of the loads
    to deeper soils
    Lp/B > 4
    Deep Foundations
    Design of Deep Foundations
    Axial Load Capacity
    Lateral Load Capacity
    Basic Steps in Foundation
    Design/Analysis
    1. Estimate the size of the footing
    and the factored net pressure
    Estimate the thickness of the footing
    Calculate for the net soil bearing
    capacity of the soil
    Determine the size of the footing
    Calculate for the factored net soil
    bearing capacity of the soil
    Bearing Pressure
    Bearing Pressure
    Bearing capacity and settlement
    analyses based on non-uniform
    bearing pressure would be very
    complex, for this reason it is
    common practice to use linear
    pressure distribution. The error
    introduced by this simplification
    is not significant. (Coduto, 2001 &
    Bowles, 1997)
    Bearing Pressure
    Bearing Pressure
    Nearly all bearing capacity
    analyses are currently implemented
    using allowable stress design (ASD)
    methods

    Design/Analysis
    2. Check the shear
    One-way Shear (Wide Beam Shear)
    Two-way Shear (Punching Shear)
    Basic Steps in Foundation
    Design/Analysis
    One-way Shear
    One-way Shear
    Concrete Cover

    square inch (psi)

    Design/Analysis
    4. Check the development

    Development Length
    The minimum length of embedment of bars
    that is necessary to permit them to be
    stressed to their yield point plus some
    extra distance to ensure member
    toughness (McCormac & Brown, 2014).
