11. DESIGN METHODOLOGY

By observing the nature of subsurface strata, the type of foundation for a given proposed
structure, expected loads on foundations, the following types of foundations can be
recommended.
a. Shallow Foundations
For satisfactory performance of a foundation, the following criteria must be satisfied;
I The foundation must not fail in shear.
II The foundation should not settle by an amount more than the permissible
settlement.The smaller of the bearing pressure values obtained according to above (I)
and (II), is adopted as the allowable bearing capacity
Depth of Analysis
In case of Shallow foundation for footing resting on multilayer deposits, weighted average
or average of the 'C' and 'ɸ' values upto a depth of 'H' = 0.5 B Tan (45 + ɸ/2)

Foundation in Soil
A foundation must have an adequate depth from the considerations of adverse
environmental influences. It must also be economically feasible in terms of overall
structure. Depth of foundation in soil shall be decided as per site conditions and structural
requirements and confirmed with clause 7 of IS: 1904 for special cases like; where volume
change/scour is expected/ when foundation is to rest on sloping ground/ made or filled up
ground/ frost action is expected etc.

Open/Shallow Foundations In Soil

The safe bearing capacity of soil is the net intensity of loading which the foundation will
carry, without under- going settlement in excess of the permissible value for the structure
under consideration.
Net safe bearing capacity from shear consideration
For Clay Soils (ɸ = 0)
The net ultimate bearing capacity immediately after construction on fairly saturated
homogeneous cohesive soils shall be calculated using following equation.
qd = C x Nc x Sc x dc x ic Where Nc = 5.14
The value of 'C' shall be obtained from unconfined compressive strength test or static cone
penetration test or triaxial shear (UU) test.
Alternatively, Net ultimate bearing capacity can be determined by using the following
equation;
qd = C x Nc x Sc x dc x ic Where Nq = Net Ultimate Bearing Capacity
A factor of safety of 2.5 is used Considering ɸ = 0, Nc = 5.14 Thus, the equation is simplified
as
q(Net Safe) = 1/ 2.5 x C x 5.14 x Sc x dc
= 2.056 x C x Sc x dc
For C - ɸsoils:
For General shear = ɸ ≥ 360 and C ≥ 5 t/m2
qd = C Nc Sc dc ic + q (Nq-1) Sq dq iq + 0.5 γ B Nγ Sγ dγ iγ W'
For Local shear ɸ ≤ 280 and C ≤ 3 t/m2
qd = (2/3) c Nc Sc dc ic + q (Nq-1) Sq dq iq + 0.5 γ B Nγ Sγ dγ iγ W'
For Intermediate Shear
Average or interpolate between Local and General Shear.
Reduction Factors:
Bearing Capacity Factors Nc, Nq, Ny from Table 1 of IS: 6403-1981
Shape factors Sc, Sq, Sy from Table 2 of IS: 6403 – 1981
Depth factors dc, dq, dy from clause 5.1.2.2 of IS: 6403 – 1981
Inclination factors ic iq iy from clause 5.1.2.3 of IS: 6403 - 1981

NOTE:
1 Prior to construction of any new foundations, all areas receiving fill, base rock, or
structures should be Removed/stripped of all surface vegetation, organic topsoil and
any deleterious materials that might be encountered.
2 Any Soft or unsuitable soils encountered during stripping or excavation should also be
removed and replaced with structural fill meeting the requirements.
3 For Un-tested Depths, the test results of immediate depths were considered for
designing
4 The recommendation given are based on the provided data, in case of additional loads
such as horizontal loads and overturning moments, necessary corrections such as area
reduction due to eccentricity, shall be done by the structural engineer

14. LIMITATIONS
The recommendations presented in this report are based on subsurface exploration, field
tests and Laboratory tests of the specified site. There is always a possibility that the
observed soil strata in the Open pit may differ to the actual field strata observed during
construction, which may be due to the limitations in exploration. If such conditions are
encountered during construction, the concerned personal at construction is requested to
notify the same immediately to the designer.
It is the Duty of the Structural Engineer in charge to give provisions for the effect of
horizontal loads, resulting moment and eccentricity effect on the whole structure. Suitable
solution should be derived to counter the abnormalities such as overturning due to
moment, by the Structural Engineer.
