Haque) Shallow Foundations – are usually located no more than 6 ft below the lowest finished floor. A shallow foundation system generally used when (1) the soil close the ground surface has sufficient bearing capacity, and (2) underlying weaker strata do not result in undue settlement. The shallow foundations are commonly used most economical foundation systems. Footings are structural elements, which transfer loads to the soil from columns, walls or lateral loads from earth retaining structures. In order to transfer these loads properly to the soil, footings must be design to • Prevent excessive settlement • Minimize differential settlement, and • Provide adequate safety against overturning and sliding. Types of Footings Column Footing Isolated spread footings under individual columns. These can be square, rectangular, or circular. Lecture Note COSC 421 3 (M.E. Haque) Wall Footing Wall footing is a continuous slab strip along the length of wall. Lecture Note COSC 421 4 (M.E. Haque) Columns Footing Combined Footing Property line Combined footings support two or more columns. These can be rectangular or trapezoidal plan. Lecture Note COSC 421 5 (M.E.

  • Deep Foundations April 2021
    NEWSLETTER A Deep Dive Into Deep Foundations April 2021 Most new buildings can be constructed on a typical shallow foundation system. But for the approximately 5% to 10% of buildings proposed to be located on unsuitable soils, a redevelopment site, or with extraordinary load requirements, a more complex solution is needed, such as ground improvement or deep foundations. So, let’s dig deeper into the foundation systems that support some of Ohio’s most remarkable buildings. Shallow foundations are considered first. Shallow foundations, often called footings, are used for the majority of projects and are the most economical foundation system. Shallow foundations transfer building loads to the underlying soil and are most commonly used where suitable bearing is present within a depth of 10 feet. Shallow foundations are appropriate when the characteristics of the underlying soil can support the weight of the proposed structure without risk of excessive settlement. When initial soil borings for new construction reveal that shallow foundations cannot support the proposed structure within acceptable settlement limits, engineers then look to fortify the building pad area using practices referred to as ground improvement. Successful ground improvement allows use of shallow foundations. Ground improvement practices fortify the existing ground to allow for a higher bearing capacity while reducing settlement to within a tolerable amount for the structure. Successful ground improvement allows for a shallow foundation system to be used. The three most commonly used ground improvements approaches for Ohio projects are two types of aggregate piers—rammed aggregate piers and vibratory stone columns—and deep dynamic compaction.

  • Types of Deep Foundations -Timber Piles - Reinforced Concrete Piles - Pifs - Steel Piles - Composite Piles - Augercast Shafts - Drilled Shafts
    Foundation Engineering Lecture #14 Types of Deep Foundations -Timber piles - Reinforced Concrete piles - PIFs - Steel piles - Composite piles - Augercast shafts - Drilled shafts L. Prieto-Portar 2009 Surface soils with poor bearing may force engineers to carry their structural loads to deeper strata, where the soil and rock strengths are capable of carrying the new loads. These structural elements are called “deep foundations”. The oldest known deep foundation was a “pile”. Originally, piles were simply tree trunks stripped of their branches, and pounded into the soil with a large stone, much like a carpenter hammers a nail into a wooden board. Pile driving machines have been found in Egyptian excavations, consisting of a simple "A" frame, a heavy stone and a rope. Roman military bridge builders used a similar technique. Both were early examples of “driven” piles. In 1740 Christopher Phloem invented pile driving equipment using a steam machine which resembles today’s pile driving mechanisms. This method evolved by using steam to raise the weights (in lieu of human power) during the late 1800’s, and then diesel hammers were developed in Germany during WWII. The most recent advance in pile placing is the hydraulic hammer. Steel piles have been used since 1800’s and concrete piles since about 1900. In contrast, shafts or placed deep foundations are screwed (“augered”) into the soil, much like a carpenter places a screw into a wooden board. Similarly to the contrast between nailing versus screwing, the shafts are usually a quiet operation that tends to improve the soil and rock texture to carry the load.

  • Application of Spatial Supporting Construction As an Effective Method
    geosciences Article Application of Spatial Supporting Construction as an Effective Method for Stabilising a Landslide Janusz Ukleja Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Opole University of Technology, Katowicka 48, 45-061 Opole, Poland; [email protected] Received: 5 October 2020; Accepted: 4 November 2020; Published: 6 November 2020 Abstract: Buttresses constitute a spatial supporting construction (SSC) that can convey large loads coming from the pressure of unstable soil on deeper, more stable layers to make it safer with respect to the load-bearing capacity. They make the counteraction against the pressure, which initiates sliding when the forces to move the landslide body, not balanced by the internal frictional forces in the soil. Some specific features of known construction elements were used in the buttress, such as sheet pile walls and drilled piles. Although beneficial in this case, the specific shape of the axis of the wall made from piles and sheets formed a wave created from circle sections (in plan view). Thus, a stable steel buttress was formed. The interaction of the buttress with the soil mass pressure over it, which stabilises the landslide mass, was considered. To further strengthen the buttress, a reinforced concrete slab was added on the upper edge of the thin walls of sheets and piles, thereby integrating and stiffening the whole structure. The application of the concrete slab enabled the use of the stabilisation role of additional forces (become from its weight and above laysoil)to stabilise the buttress. The results of this study achieved a substantial stabilising effect, increasing maximal forces reacting against the pressure of the unstable soil block.

Abstract This document is FHWA’s primary reference of recommended design and procurement procedures for shallow foundations. The Circular presents state-of-the-practice guidance on the design of shallow foundation support of highway bridges. The information is intended to be practical in nature, and to especially encourage the cost-effective use of shallow foundations bearing on structural fills. To the greatest extent possible, the document coalesces the research, development and application of shallow foundation support for transportation structures over the last several decades. Detailed design examples are provided for shallow foundations in several bridge support applications according to both Service Load Design (Appendix B) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (Appendix C) methodologies. Guidance is also provided for shallow foundation applications for minor structures and buildings associated with transportation projects.
