- Placed below the surface of the
ground
- Transmits the loads to the soil or
rock
Foundation Design
Two Criteria for Foundation Adequacy
A. Geotechnical
Foundation must be:
1. Be deep enough to reach soil strong
enough to carry the loads
2. Have enough area to distribute the
load to the soil
B. Structural
Must pass all structural failure such as:
1. Two-way shear
2. One-way shear
3. Flexure

Types of Foundation

Note: In actual application, thickness of footing is not given.
An initial thickness is assumed, typically at least 300mm.
Thickness may gradually be increased until it is computed to
be safe.

For convenience, a value called the effective allowable
bearing capacity is computed. It is the computed by
subtracting the area loads from the allowable bearing
capacity instead of adding the said loads to the service
loads. 1000

Two-way shear is also called with a more descriptive term, punching shear. Punching shear failure of spread footing
refers to the action where the column “punches” a hole on the footing slab.

Solution: B. Two-Way Shear Capacity
For simplicity, the diagonal failure is converted into rectangular failure. The diagonal failure is approximately 45
degrees, meaning, it would have a run equal to its depth (effective depth). Since it is converted to rectangular, the
average is taken. The outside of failure line, instead of around the value of “d”, will be d/2 in the simplified case. For
footings, there are two effective depths, one for each direction. One direction of rebars has to be placed on top of the
other, since they can’t be physically on the same level. For punching shear, the average value of the two effective
depths are used to give both consideration.

The process is to compute the punching shear force and punching
shear capacity (punching shear design strength) and compare them.
Either one may be done first. There are two ways to compute the
punching shear force. External forces from either of the simplified VUPresult
separated elements can be used. qU
First method and the one suggested for solving is using the

16. Two columns, 300x300mm in dimension are
3m (clear) apart. Note that the outer face of the
left column is 150mm away from the property
line. The left column is subjected to an axial
service dead load of 185kN and axial service live
load of 125kN. The right column is subjected to
400kN dead load and 380kN live load. A
surcharge live load of 4.8kPa is expected to be
loaded on the 100mm thick slab on grade above
the foundation. The soil is 18kN/m3 in density
and has an allowable bearing capacity of 200kPa.
Design the foundation as combined footing
embedded by 2m and will be 600mm thick. Use
concrete having compressive strength of 21MPa
and 12mm reinforcement with yield strength of
276MPa.
