Question: Consider a n = 3 - storey building, Bx = 3 6 m and By = 1 4 m on plan, which is divided into

Consider a n =3-storey building, Bx =36 m and By =14 m on plan, which is divided into Nx =6 bays in the building's long direction and Ny =2 bays in its short direction. The height of each storey is h =3.2 m. The roof and floors of the building are 275 mm thick. Shear walls, intended to resist overturning are located at both ends of the building and are t=300 mm thick by bw=4 m wide on plan. The following characteristic imposed/wind actions act on the building:
Roof loading =0.6 kPa
Office floor loading =2.5 kPa
Partition loading =0.8 kPa
Wind (horizontal) loading =1.15 kPa
The characteristic weight density of reinforced concrete is \gamma c=25 kN/m3.
Calculate the design value of actions according to EN 1990, in
a way that is suitable for the geotechnical design of foundations. Select a suitable type of foundation out of the isolated shallow foundation, strip foundation, or mat foundation and carry out the geotechnical design according to EN 1997 in the soil profile shown.
