A raft foundation will be designed for a structure as shown in Figure 1. Geotechnical site investigation program was carried out and the soil was found to be as shown in Figure 2.
You are assigned to design:
1) Rraft (mat) foundation for the structure with bearing capacity factor of safety, F.S-2.5. Use your knowledge skills, procedures, and codes to do the work. You need to design for:
- Raft foundation thickness, T
- Steel reinforcement
- Reinforcement development length
2) Basement retaining wall (Dimensions & Reinforcement)
All Dimensions are in mm
Columns dimensions
C1: 400mm400mm
C2: 300mm400mm
1. Loads (Unfactored):
C1: DL=790kN
LL=510kN
C2: DL=580kN
LL=345kN
2.- Material Properties
Concrete: fc'=4000~=28MPa
Steel: grade 60:fy=60ksi~=420MPa
3.- Factor of Safety for bearing
capacity failure, F.S =2.0
Allowable settlement, sall=20mm
A raft foundation will be designed for a
