Column Pad Foundation
PAD FOOTING: 6'W6'L15''H
PIER: 1' W 1'L2.75'H
Design depth (bottom of footing)=4' below grade
Allowed excavation =2' wider than footing for each side for working ror
Assume vertical excavation sidewalls (cohesive soil w/no shoring)
What is the volume of excavation (in-place cubic yards) required?
What is the volume of the concrete column pad foundation (pad and pier) in cubic yards?
Using your answers from questions 1 and 2, what is the volume of compacted structural backfill (inplace cubic yards) needed to fill in the excavation around the foundation up to grade?
Due to unsuitable soils found at the depth of the proposed footing, we need to remove an additional 3' of material below the footing and replace it with compacted structural backfill.
4. Considering guidelines for over-excavation (1 foot horizontally for every 1 vertical foot), what are the dimensions (L,W,& & ) in feet of the new excavation? (If your over-excavation calculations result in less than a 2' increase for the L and W, use only the 2' working room allowance. Otherwise, do not include the working room allowance).
5. Using your answer from question 4, what is the volume of this excavation (in-place cubic yards)?
6. Using your answers from questions 1 and 5, what is the additional amount (in-place cubic yards) of soil that has to be excavated?
7. Using your answers from questions 2 and 5, what is the volume of compacted structural backfill (inplace cubic yards) needed to fill in the excavation beneath and around the foundation up to grade?
8. Using your answers from questions 3 and 7, what is the additional amount (in-place cubic yards) of compacted structural backfill needed to fill in the excavation beneath and around the foundation up to grade?
