After having studied the title C of the NSR-10, a summary of said standard was drawn up, in which,

mainly the issue of foundations was deepened.


Next, a summary will be established, managing to relate the standard with the analysis, and the
design according to current regulations.
To begin with the design of some type of foundation established by the standards, we must take into
account what is indicated in the standard, indicating that all the elements of a structure must be
designed to achieve minimum resistance, these are the increased efforts and resistance reductions.
In summary, we must achieve a "ΦPn" ≥U where "Φ" is a factor for reducing the ultimate load, to
give greater security to the structural elements, taking into account possible unfavorable scenarios
for the construction or design processes. it leads to have a margin of failure in case of the negative
scenarios mentioned above. Later we will find the maximum allowed deformations, found in
heading C.10.2.3.
We can find a warning, which tells us how to classify the elements studied in this standard, it tells
us that it is necessary to differentiate between a long and narrow slab or footing that acts on a beam
and a slab or footing subjected in two directions. After this classification we have the equations for
these two mentioned (C11.1 and C11.2) and C11.4. They also give us the necessary regulations to
carry out the reinforcement of these (C11.3.4)
We proceeded to the analysis of the splices, where it is indicated (C.12.1.4) The reinforcement is
only allowed to make splices when the plan requires it or allows it in the design, that is, the splices
will be used according to the design used For the design of the structural element, in this way in the
following chapters we are taught different types of splices in: Chap. 12.15.1 Splices of wires and
corrugated bars to
Chap12.16 Compression corrugated wire and bar splices
Chap12.18 Corrugated wire electrowelded reinforcement splices
Chap12.19 Plain wire electrowelded reinforcement splices

Going to chapter C.13.3 we find that the reinforcement area (A) will be calculated based on the
moments of the studied sections.

The aforementioned has been analyzed based on the study of the footings, achieving the
appropriation of the main objective of the standard which is the design through the resistance of the
increased loads in the executed element and the induced reactions according to the design
requirements.
As previously mentioned, later in the standard the calculation of traction or compression is
emphasized again, showing us that once calculated the reinforcement in each section must be
developed on each side of said section.
Ending with the study of this standard we are given certain values which we will be emphasizing in
said summary of the regulation:
* Height of the shoes on the lower reinforcement cannot be less than 150mm for shoes resting on
the ground
* Height of the footings on the lower reinforcement cannot be less than 300mm for footings
supported on piles

* The tie beams must have a section such that their greatest dimension must be greater than or equal
to: DES = L / 20 DMO = L / 30 DMI = L / 40
* The tie beams must have continuous longitudinal reinforcement, which must be capable of
developing fy by means of anchoring in the outer column of the final span.
* Closed stirrups must be placed along their entire length with a spacing that does not exceed half
the smallest dimension of the section or 300 mm
To conclude, we can affirm that it was possible to assimilate the current regulations regarding the
issue of foundations and establish a direct relationship between the concepts studied in class with
the application of the NSR-10, achieving the objectives set at the previous start of said activity.

 Compression: Action of the forces that maintain a subject body pushing by the
ends, resulting in a reduction in the volume of an elastic body.
 Creep: Deformation of a material produced by a fatigue greater than the elastic
limit of the material, which causes a permanent change to its shape.
 Deformations: Any modification in the shape, structure or dimensions of a body,
produced by an stress or force
 Longitudinal Reinforcement: Steel bars with a define diameter that takes shape
inside a concrete element and give it creep
 Major Stresses: All those stresses that are multiplied by a majority factor
 Resistance: Ability to withstand applied forces and forces without breaking,
acquiring permanent deformation or deteriorating in any way.
 Stress: All those forces internal to the structures that counteract the external actions
to which said structures are subjected.
 Tension: Action to which a body is subjected that bends or bends as a result of the
load it supports
 Unit Stress: Internal resistance of an elastic body to the action of external forces,
which is expressed in units of force per unit area
