What are the bearing capacity values of different types of soils such as clay, sand, gravel, rocks etc.?
Which type of foundation are used for G+5 building?
The decision of establishment to a great extent relies upon the soil where it is being proposed to be laid and also on what are you going to build, I.e., by implication, the load itself. Essentially a mix of isolated and combined footing for buildings up to G+4, pile foundations for G+5 and above. SRead more
What are the factor affecting in selection of foundation ?
What is diffrent between strap footing and wall footing?
Strip Footing (Wall Footing) :- Strip Footing is one type of shallow foundation, and it is used to transfer load-bearing structure weight to the ground evenly. It is used only when soil bearing capacity is good. The width of footing generally kept as twice of the wall width. Strap Footing:- Strap FoRead more
If we have two spread footing foundation (Isolated Pads) of square sizes (1m x 1m) and (2m x 2m),with axial loads ; (10t) and (40t) respectively, by assuming the soil features and specification for the two pads ,is the same ...
Equations of Applicable codes can be used to calculate the deflection of these two pad foundation since they are the same except their dimension and load magnitude. It can be estimated roughly that, the settlement of the second one would be twice the first one; the dimension of the second one is douRead more
What is Universal Foundation? Where it is use?
universal foundation is pile foundation. it is used at all location, so we call it universal foundation in simple way basically pile foundation use at where bearing capacity of soil is low where chances of differential settlement of foundation where structural load is very high like bridge or skyskiRead more
Which type of foundation is used in sea link project bridge?
Most commonly, they use reinforced pile. For e.g., Bandra Worli sea link. The foundations for the BWSL's cable-stayed bridges consist of 120 reinforced concrete piles of 2,000 mm (6.6 ft) diameter. Those for the viaducts consist of 484 piles of 1,500 mm (4.9 ft). These 604 piles were driven betweenRead more
What is content pressure in footing? How it is determine?
< strong>contact pressure is the pressure between footing end and soil strata where we rest the footing. we should have safe contact pressure to avoid foundation failure like (punching failure, shear failure, excessive settlement of the foundation, etc. ) it is express by load per area it isRead more
