Following are the types of foundations in order of preference with a view to economy: (i) Individual footings (isolated footing) (ii) Combined footings (combination of individual footings (iii) Strip footings with retaining wall acting as strip beam wherever applicable. (iv) Raft foundations of the types (a) slab (b) beam-slab. The brick wall footings can also be designed. Often plinth beams are provided to support brick walls and also to act as earthquake ties in each principal direction.
Depth of foundation:
Depth of foundation below ground level can be obtained by using Rankines formula:
Where, h = minimum depth of foundation p= gross bearing capacity = density of soil = angle of repose or internal friction of soil. Recommendations of IS456: 2000, Limit state design, bending, shear, cracking and development length: To determine the area of foundation required for proper transfer of total load on the soil, the total load (combination of dead load, live load and any other load without multiplying it with any load factor) are considered.
Dimension of pedestal:
In the case of plain cement concrete pedestals, the angle between the plane passing through the bottom edge of the pedestal and the corresponding junction edge of the column with pedestal and the horizontal plane shall be governed by the expression.
Where qo = calculated maximum bearing pressure at the base of the pedestal/footing in N/mm2 Fck = characteristic strength of concrete at 28 days in N/mm2
The bending moment will be considered at the face of column, pedestal or wall and shall be determined by passing through the section a vertical plane which extends completely across the footing, and over the entire area of the footing or one side of the said plane. The reference clause is 34.2.3.1 and 34.2.3.2 of IS456: 2000.
Where,
= shear stress
b = breadth of critical section d = effective depth ( = design shear strength of concrete based on % longitudinal tensile
Two way shear (or two way bending action or punching shear) of foundation:
For two way bending action, the following should be checked in punching shear. Punching shear shall be around the perimeter 0.5 times the effective depth away from the face of the column or pedestal. For two way shear action, the nominal shear stress is calculated in accordance with clause 31.6.2 of IS456: 2000 as follows:
Where
= shear stress
bo = periphery of the critical section d = effective depth Vu = factored vertical shear force When shear reinforcement is not provided, the nominal shear stress at the critical section should not exceed
Where, Ks = 0.5 + Bc (but not greater than 1) Bc = (short dimension of column or pedestal / long dimension of column or pedestal)
N/mm2 Note: It is general practice to make the base deep enough so that shear reinforcement is not required.
Reinforcement in foundations:
The minimum reinforcement in footing slab specified by the code is 0.12% and maximum spacing specified is 3 times the effective depth or 450mm whichever is less. (clause 34.3). Only tensile reinforcement is normally provided. The total reinforcement shall be laid down uniformly in case of square footings. For rectangular footings, there shall be a central band, equal to the width of the footing. The reinforcement in the central band shall be provided in accordance with the following equation.
Where,
but not greater than 2. Where, A1 = supporting are for bearing of footing, which is sloped or stepped footing may be taken as the area of the lower base of the largest frustum of a pyramid or cone contained wholly within the footing and having its upper base, the area actually loaded and having side slope of one vertical to two horizontal. A2 = loaded area at the column base. For limit state design, the permissible bearing stress specified is 45 fck. If the permissible bearing stress is exceeded either in the column concrete or in footing concrete, reinforcement must be provided for developing the excess force. The reinforcement may be provided either extending the longitudinal bars into the footing or by providing dowels in accordance with the code as given by the following: 1. Minimum area of extended longitudinal bars or dowels must be 0.5% of crosssectional area of the supported column or pedestal. 2. A minimum of four bars must be provided. 3. If dowels are used their diameter should not exceed the diameter of the column bars by more than 3mm. 4. Enough development length should be provided to transfer the compression or tension to the supporting member. 5. Column bars of diameter larger than 36mm, in compression only can be dowelled at the footing with bars of smaller diameters. The dowel must extend into the column a
distance equal to the development length of the column bar. At the same time, the dowels must extend vertically into the footing a distance equal to the development length of the dowel.
