Foundation Design and Load Calculations

This document provides calculations for the design of a foundation pad. It calculates: 1) The critical ultimate vertical load and moments acting on the foundation. 2) The bearing pressure and pressures at the edges of the foundation. 3) The reinforcement required to resist the design bending moment of 136 kNm, determining a minimum of 1013 mm^2 is needed. 4) The distribution of 11T12 bars in each direction to provide the required 1244 mm^2 of steel. 5) Checks that the line and punching shear stresses are below code limits.

10. Design of Pad

10.1 Compression & Bending

Critical ultimate vertical load at the level of foundation,


W = 908 kN

Co-existing ultimate moments at the foundation level,


Mx = 0 kNm My = 0 kNm
Shear in Transverse direction, Mt = Hx x (D+h) = 0 kNm
Shear in Longitudinal direction, Ml = Hy x (D+h) = 0 kNm

Width of foundation B = 1.750 m


Length of foundation L = 1.750 m

Bearing Pressure acting on Foundation,


due to Axial load = W/(BxL)
σB1 = 908 / 3.1
= 296 kN/m2

due to M'x = 6M'x / ( B2 x L )


σB2 = 0 / 5.4
= 0 kN/m2

due to M'y = 6M'y / ( L2 x B )


σB2 = 0 / 5.4
= 0 kN/m2

Pressures at edges,
σ1 = 296 kN/m2
σ2 = 296 kN/m2
σ3 = 296 kN/m2
σ4 = 296 kN/m2

Self wt due to the overburden and foundation at front side of wall, w 1


w1= [ (Ds x γsoil) x 1.0 + (t x 24) x 1.0]
w1 = 0.0 kN/m2

Pressure at section 1 -1,


σ11 = 296 kN/m2

Design Moment, Hogging


M = ((s11 - w1) x B x l2/2) + (0.5 x (σ1 - σ11) x l x B x (2l/3)

M = 136 kNm

Reference Calculation Output

Charac. cube strength of concrete, fcu = 25 MPa


Characteristic strength of steel, fy = 460 MPa

Clear cover = 40 mm
Diameter of transverse direction bars = 12 mm
Effective depth, d = 400-40-12/2
= 354 mm d = 354 mm

Design moment, M = 136 kNm M = 136 kNm

M = 0.87fyAsz

Z =d{0.5+√0.25-K/0.9}

Z = d{0.5+[0.25-(M)/(fcubd2)]1/2}
= 345 mm

= 0.974 d > 0.95d


Therefore, z = 336 mm z = 336 mm

As,req = M/0.87 fy z
= 1013 mm2 As,req 1013 mm2

Minimum reinforcement required


As,min = 0.13%bd
= 0.13% of 1750 x 354
As,min = 805 mm2
AS, Req= 1013 mm2

Hence Use 11T12 in each direction AS, prov= 1244 mm2

Cl 3.11.3.2 10.2 Distribution of reinforcement

Column Dimension in X direction, C x = 0.3 m


Column Dimension in Y direction, C y = 0.3 m

Effective depths, dx = 400-40-12-12/2


= 342 mm

dy = 400-40-12/2
= 354 mm

(3/4)Cx + (9/4) dx = 994.5 > lcx (=875)

(3/4)Cy + (9/4) dy = 1021.5 > lcy (=875)

Therefore Band width is not available

Reference Calculation Output

Steel required in banded area,


R/F over central Cx + 3.0dx ( 1326mm) and Cy + 3.0dy (1362mm)

= (2/3) x 1013 mm2


= 675.5 mm2
= 509.4 mm2/m

Hence Use 7T12 @ 150mm (754 mm 2/m) over the central zone in
each direction.
Use 2 No. of T12 on each side outside the central zone.

10.3 Check for shear

Line shear Check

Average effective depth, davg = 348 mm


Pressure at section at d apart from column face, σd = 296 kN/m2

Shear force, V =((sB - w1) + 0.5 x (σ1-σB)) x B x (0.5(L - C) - davg)

V = 196 kN

v = 0.32 N/mm2 < 0.8 √fcu or 5N/mm2

100As/bd = 0.20
Table 3.9 vc = 0.37 N/mm2 > v

Therefore Line Shear OK.

Punching shear Check

Average effective depth, davg = 348 mm

Shear force, V = (s1 - w1) x (LB - (3davg + C)2)

V = 372 kN

U = 4 x (3davg + C) = 5.376 m

v = 0.20 N/mm2 < vc = 0.37 N/mm2

Therefore Punching Shear OK.
