SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS

ISOLATED FOOTINGS

Shallow Foundations, P1, Tarek Nageeb

Foundations
Foundations are usually divided into:
:
1) Shallow Foundations are used when the top layers of
soil can support the applied loads with accepted
settlement. They can take any form of the followings:
:) 1

:
- Spread (isolated) Footing,
- Combined Footing,
- Strap Beam Footing
- Wall Footing,
- Strip Footing,
- Raft Foundation.

Foundations
2) Deep Foundations are used if the top soil is
weak and can not support the structure loads.
They used to transmit the loads to the stronger
deeper soil layers. Forms of deep foundations are
piles, pillars, caissons, and Alexandria Wells
.etc.

Foundation Safety
Foundations should be safe against:
1- Shear failure in soil.
2- Excessive total or differential settlements.
3- Depression settlement due to excessive
dewatering.
4- Uplift during construction due to high
G.W.T.
5- Sliding or overturning due to large
horizontal loads.

Selection of Type of Foundations


Approximate Loads of Structures:
Residential and Housing, 1.0 up to 1.2 t/m2 per floor
Commercial and Office, 1.2 up to 1.5 t/m2 per floor
Schools and Hospitals, 1.5 to 2.0 t/m2 per floor
These loads are multiplied by the number of floors,
then divided by the foundation area to determine the
soil stresses, then the type of foundation.
Three options will be available:
1- Stress on soil < qall soil, R.C foundation area 2/3
foundation area Isolated footings.
2- Stress on soil < qall soil, R.C foundation area > 2/3
foundation area Raft foundation.
3- Stress on soil > qall soil Pile foundation.
