SUMMARY
This document describes the design of suitable foundation for Portacabin structure. LRFD design was utilised
for reinforced concrete footing and pedestal. Soil bearing capacity and stability check for sliding and
overturning, and settlement checks were confirmed satisfactory. It also contains provision for base plate and
bolts.

1.2 PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to detail the minimum requirements for the design a reinforced
concrete foundation for Portacabin structure located at ABC.

1.4 OBJECTIVE
• Design suitable foundation for the Portacabin structure considering the properties of the
foundation soil.
• Ensure that member sections and reinforcement steel provided are adequate for Ultimate
Limit State and Serviceability Limit State requirements.
The computation for combined pad footing foundation was performed using Mat3DTM 2019 software
in line with factors, loads and parameters defined in the relevant sections of Eurocodes and
referenced standards and specifications. The foundation members were provided using the analytical
method for bearing resistance calculation given in Annex D of EN 1997−1:2004: Geotechnical design,
Part 1: General rules. The Limit State philosophy approach was used to perform the design for the
footing, which involves the Ultimate and Serviceability Limit States.
Reactions were deduced from STAAD.Pro output as per Portacabin Structural Analysis Report. The
maximum member forces and moments were used to determine the footing geometry, size and
reinforcement for the Portacabin foundation.
The reaction values from Portacabin Structural Analysis results were converted as design loads in
Mat3D. The sign convention of software is shown in Fig. 1.1 below.

Bearing capacity value for the Portacabin structure foundation was deduced in line with soil
parameters contained in the Geotechnical Investigation Report. Borehole (BH2) data were
utilised.
