Module 4: Types of Foundation and Soil Testing

Learning objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learner will be able to:
• Understand the types of foundations and their functions.
• Discuss the methods used in construction of foundations.
• Discuss factors in settlement of foundations.
• Discuss the factors that cause the failure of foundations.
• Steps in conducting soil testing

Course Materials:

Foundation
• Is the element of an architectural structure, which connects it to the ground, and
transfers loads from the structure to the ground.
• Are generally considered either shallow or deep.
• Is that portion of the structural elements that carry or support the superstructure of the
building.
• Is further defined as the substructure, which is usually placed below the surface of the
ground that transmits the load of the building to the under-lying soil or rock.

What Is The Purpose of A Foundation?

• To support the structure.


• To give enough stability against various forces.
• For the distribution of the total load of the superstructure

Consideration in Designing Foundations:

• Geotechnical Investigation report.


• Dead loads, Live loads, impact loads and others as specified in the NSCP 2015

Two Major Categories of Foundations:

1. Shallow Foundation
2. Deep Foundations

Types of Shallow Foundations:


• Spread Footing
• Mat or Raft Foundation

30
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Types of Deep Foundations:


• Piers
• Piles
• Caissons

General Types of Foundations:


• Spread footing
• Mat or Raft Foundation
• Pile or Pier Foundation
• Caissons

Shallow Foundations is a type of building foundation that transfers building loads to the earth
which is somewhat very near to the surface, rather than to a subsurface layer or a range of
depths as does a deep foundation.

Spread Footing is typically a plain reinforced concrete basically it is a pad use to


“spread out” building column and wall over a sufficiently large soil area. In addition, they
are constructed as close to the ground surface as the building design permits and as
controlled by the actual site conditions.
Types of Spread Footing
1. Isolated Footing

a type of shallow foundation and/or footing that provide a support to individual


columns. Most commonly in square shapes and rectangular shapes, its dimensions
are defined by the design results.

31
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

2. Combined Footing

Combined footings are constructed for two or more columns when they are close to
each other and their foundations overlap.

3. Strap Footing

This footing is useful when the external column is very near to property line. A strap
footing is a combination of spread footings of two columns connected by a strap beam.
Beam connecting two-spread footing does not transfer any load to the soil. The
function of the strap beam to transfer a load of the heavily loaded column to the inner
column.

Mat or Raft Foundation is classified as a large footing extending over a wide or entire ground
floor area of the building. It is adopted due to the overlapping of the individual column
footing based on the design output.

32
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Deep Foundations
Is a type of foundation that transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the
surface than a shallow foundation does to a subsurface layer or a range of depths.

Types of Deep Foundations


1. Piers
Refers to a large cross-sectional dimension, each capable of transmitting the entire
load from a single column down to a stable stratum.

Piers

2. Piles
Is a structural member of small cross-sectional area with reasonable length
driven down the ground by means of hammer or vibratory generators.
Driven Piles Steel Sheet Piles

33
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

3. Caissons
Is a structural box, cylindrical in type or chamber that is sunk in place or built in
place by excavating systematically below the bottom of the unit that descends to
the final depth.

Caissons

What Are The Situations In Which We Must Use Pile Foundations?


1. If the load of the superstructure is heavy and its distribution is uneven.
2. Poor soil bearing capacity
3. Water table is high.
4. Structure is situated in near river bed an/or offshore

What Are The Functions Of Piles?


1. To transmit a foundation load to a solid and stable ground.
2. To resist lateral, vertical and uplift loads/forces.

Important Functions or Uses of Piles


The decision to use pile foundation is the result of scientific method of exploration and tests
of the underlying soil conducted by the designing Engineer, which were brought about by
any of the following purpose:

1. As friction pile at their bottom portions in transmitting the load through soft strata into
stiffer lower strata.
2. As friction pile utilizing its full length.
3. As soil compactor.
4. As end-bearing columns
5. As stabilizers of banks
6. As better piles
7. As sheeting

Right Selection of Piles


In selecting the use and types of piles, the following factors are considered:

1. Availability of supply 6. Length of piles


2. Expected life span 7. Characteristic of structure and loading
3. Deterioration condition 8. Carrying capacity
4. Types of underground 9. Proximity of structure
5. Method of placing 10. Cost

Classification of Piles Based On the Material Used


1. Concrete Piles
- Pre-Cast
- Cast-in-situ
> Driven piles: Cased or
Uncased
> Bored Piles: Pressure piles etc
2. Timber Piles
3. Steel Piles
4. Concrete + Timber
5. Concrete + Steel

Deep Foundation

Types of Piles

1. End Bearing Piles


These pile is used to transfer the load through water or soft soil of ground to a
suitable hard bearing stratum.

2. Friction Piles
These pile is used to transfer the loads to a depth of a friction load carrying
material by means of skin friction along the length of piles.

35
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

3. Compaction Piles
Use to compact loose soils forming a sand pile.
.

4. Anchor Piles
These provide anchorage against horizontal pull from sheet pulling or any other
pulling force.

5. Fender Piles
These are used to protect water from structure against impact from ships or
other floating objects.
.

36

#WeLearnAsOne

6. Sheet Piles
These pile are used as a impervious cut off sheet to reduce seepage and uplif
under hydraulic structure.

7. Batter Piles
These pile are used to
resist large horizontal or inclined forces.

Heavy Equipment That Are Used In Pile Foundations

Hydraulic Pile Hammer

37
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Hydraulic Press-in Pile Driver

Failure of Pile Foundation


The failure of the pile foundation may result from any of the following causes:

1. Lack of adequate boring


2. Inaccurate soil classification
3. Soft strata under tip of pile
4. Inadequate driving formula (wrong data)
5. Improper size of hammer cause insufficient penetration, too light or damaged if too heavy
6. Misinterpretation of load
7. Damaged of encased piles
8. Buckling of piles
9. Breaking of piles
10. Vibration that cause lateral or vertical movement
11. Flowing strata caused by adjacent excavation or bank sloughing
12. Tension failure of concrete pile for lack of reinforcement
13. Eccentricity due to bowing or falling out of plumb
14. Decay due to lower ground water level
15. Insect and marine borer attack and corrosion
16. Disintegration of concrete due to poor quality of concrete or reactive aggregate
17. Collapse of the thin shell of the piles
18. Overweight due to earth fills.

Testing
Underground Soil Exploration
Foundation design is primarily based from the result of subsurface investigation. The
Engineer who has to make the design must have a reasonably accurate conception of the physical
properties and arrangement of the underlying soil. The most suitable method under a wide variety
of soil conditions is by drilling a hole into the ground and extracting samples for identification or
testing. The investigation of the underlying materials as to its consistency or relative density of
the deposit could be made by penetration test or other methods, which do not require sampling.

38
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Boring and Penetration Test


Boring Test provides a visual identification of the soil strata underlying the area by literally
penetrating into the earth. Sub-surface materials are identified I place or from samples that were
taken at a known depth and brought to the surface for examination.

Different Types Of Boring and Penetration Test


1. Auger Boring
The simplest device for boring a hole in the ground is the Auger. The two varieties
of hand auger commonly used for soil investigations are the helical auger and the
Iwan or post hole auger. A portable power driven helical auger are available from
8 to 30 cm. oftenly used for making deeper holes.

2. Wash Boring
The methods applied in wash boring is to drive a piece of metal tube of 5 to 10 cm.
diameter to a depth of 1.50 to 3.00 m., the tube or casing is cleared out by a
chopping bit fastened to the lower portion of the wash pipe inserted inside the tube
or casing. Water is forced down through the wash pipe by means of a high velocity
pump to rinse the fragments of soil through the annular space between the tube
and the wash pipe. This method is similar to the process of installing an
underground water pump where the pipe is cleaned by wash pipe and water.

3. Hollow Auger Boring


A truck mounted driving rigs turn the auger into the soil rapidly to a depth of more
than 60 meters using continuous flights of auger with hollow stem where sampling
tools are operated. Auger with 6 or 8 cm. diameter are commonly used.

4. Rotary Drilling
Is the most rapid method for penetrating highly resistant materials such as rocks,
clay or even sand. The rotary boring diameter ranges from 5 cm. to 20 cm. (2 to
8 inches).

5. Percussion Drilling
Percussion drilling is sometimes called cable tool drilling used when wash boring
or auger boring could not penetrate exceptionally hard strata of soil or rocks.

Apparatus Used In Soil Testing


1. Penetrometer
A device used to investigate and measure the consistency of cohesive deposit or relative
density of cohesionless strata without the necessity of drilling and getting samples. If the
penetrometer is pushed steady into the soil, the procedure is called Static Penetration
Test, when driven into the soil it is called Dynamic Penetration Test.

Static Penetration test is preferred for cohesive soil while Dynamic penetration test is good
for very hard deposits. Both give satisfactory result for cohesionless soil. Standard
penetration test is the most widely used in the United States; it is done by dropping a 60
kg. hammer into a drill rod from a height of 70 m. the number of blows to make a
penetration of 30 cm. is regarded as the penetration resistance.

2. Dutch Cone Penetration


A 60° cone with a base area of 10 sq. cm. is attached to the bottom of a rod protected by
a casing, at a rate of 2 cm. per second, the cone is pushed by the rod into the ground, the
cone is slightly larger than the pipe to minimize friction. Another method of soil testing by
means of a cone penetrometer is by driving a drop hammer into the ground with constant
height of fall, the number of blows per 30 cm. penetration of the point is continuously
recorded and when the point reaches its final depth, the pipe is withdrawn and the cone
is left at the bottom of the hole. The dutch cone penetration test is the most rapid and
economical method being adopted recently.

3. Vane Shear Test


The vane apparatus for shear testing clay soils in place consist of four vertical rectangular
blades bolted at right angles to a vertical shaft. The vane is pushed into the soil and then
twisted until the soil is ruptured in a cylindrical form; shear strength is computed from the
maximum moment needed to rapture the soil and the dimension of the soil cylinder.

Module 8: Forms, Scaffolding and Staging


Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learner will be able to:

• Understand the function of forms, scaffolding, and staging.


• Understand the different type of forms and scaffoldings
• Understand the safety precautions needed for the proper installation of forms and
scaffoldings

Course Materials:

Formworks
Is a temporary boarding, sheating or pans used to produce the desired shape and size of
concrete. Forms are essential requirement in concrete construction. Structural members of a
building are built-up into its specified dimensions by the use of forms that serves as mould for
the mixed concrete are wooden sticks used as posts sharpened at one end driven into the
round to serve as boundaries or support of the batter boards.

Qualities and Requirements of Good Formworks:

1. It should be tight.
2. It should be strong.
3. It can be should be cheap reusable.
4. It should be in accordance to the sizes of members.
5. Swelling and shrinkage should be minimum.
6. It shoul be light weight and easy to strip.

Objectives That Must Be Considered In Assembling Formworks:

1. Quality
2. Safety
3. Economy

Main Stages In The Process Of Using Formworks

1. Assembly and Erection


2. Concrete placement
3. Stripping and Dismantling

66
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Types of Formwork Materials

1. Timber
• Most common material used for bracing.
• Can be easily cut.

2. Steel
• Steel forms are stronger, durable and have longer life that timber
formwork and they are reusable.
• Steel forms can be installed and dismantled faster and easier.
• Steel forms are light weight, reusable and chemical resistant and can be
easily cut.
• But in other cases this forms are expensive, easily damage by heat and
load carrying capacity is low

67
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

3. Aluminum
Aluminum is strong and light and consequently fewer, supports and ties
are required.

Time of Removal of Concrete Formwork

68
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Causes of Failure of Formworks

• Accident caused by inadequate bracings during the concrete pouring period.


• Overloading
• Mis-alignment
• Pre-mature stripping of formworks
• Inadequate strength of form materials.
• Failure to follow codes and standards.

Safety Precautions

• Material used for the construction of formworks must passed the standards and
specifications.
• Formworks must be properly fixed, firm, and rigid.
• The construction site specially in excavation must be properly protected.
• Warning signage must be properly indicated on strategic locations.
• Inspection must be done before the concrete pouring

Staging
A more substantial framework progressively built-up as tall buildings rise up. The term
staging is applied because it is built-up in stages one story at a time.

69
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

Scaffolding
Is a temporary structure of wooden poles and planks providing platform for working men
to stand on while erecting or repairing the building. It is further defined as a temporary
framework for other purposes.
Several Types of Scaffolding
1. Trestle Scaffolding
The working platform is supported on movable ladders or tripods in trestle
scaffolding. It is used up to a height of 5m and is normally used for work inside
the room like repairs, paintings and likewise.

2. Steel Scaffolding
Steel scaffolding is made from steel tubes that are set jointly by steel fittings or
couplers. It is simple to erect and to dismantle. It has better robustness, greater
durability and superior fire resistance. Though it is not affordable cost wise, it
provides greater safety for workers. That’s the precise reason it is used so widely
these days.

70
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

3. Patented Scaffolding
Patented scaffoldings are also made from steel; however, they are fitted with
special couplings and frames etc. These readymade scaffoldings are obtainable
on the market. Working platform is set on the brackets that are adjustable to the
required level in this type of scaffolding.

4. Suspended Scaffolding
Suspended scaffolding is mainly used for paintings, repair works, etc. Here, with
the assistance of chains or wire ropes etc., the working platform is suspended from
roofs. It can be lifted or lowered to the desired level.

5. Cantilever Scaffolding
In cantilever scaffolding, the standards are supported by a chain of needles and
these needles are pulled out via holes in the wall. This is known as “single frame”
scaffolding-type. In another type, needles are supported inside the floors via the

71
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

openings and this is called independent or double frame scaffolding type. When
constructing cantilever scaffolding, good care should be taken.
Normally, under below mentioned conditions, cantilever scaffolding is used.

• When the upper part of the wall is under construction

• When ground is close to the wall and is free from traffic

• When the ground is not capable of supporting standards

6. Single Scaffolding
Single scaffolding is usually used for brick masonry and so it is also known as brick
layer’s scaffolding. Single scaffolding comprises of standards, putlogs, ledgers
etc., which corresponds to the wall at a distance of around 1.2 m. Distance
amongst the standards is around 2 to 2.5 m. Ledgers join the standards at an
upright gap of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Putlogs are extracted from the gap remaining in the
wall to one end of the ledgers. Putlogs are positioned at a gap of 1.2 to 1.5 m.

72
PUP Civil Engineering Department
#WeLearnAsOne

7. Double Scaffolding
Double Scaffolding is normally used for stone masonry job, therefore, it is also
known as mason’s scaffolding. It is also known as the independent scaffolding.
Typically, in stone walls, it is tough to make holes in the wall for supporting putlogs;
thus, two scaffolding rows are made to make it robust. Basically, the first row is
about 20 to 30 cm away from the wall, and another one is 1m away from the first
row. Then after putlogs are positioned that are supported by both the frames. In
order to make it sturdier, cross braces and rakers are supplied.

8. Kwikstage Scaffolding
The Kwikstage system is manufactured from hard wearing galvanised steel.
Kwikstage scaffolding system is effortless to assemble and erect and simple to
take down. For builders working on big or small projects, this scaffolding system is
very helpful. Wherever regular scaffold is used, Kwikstage scaffolding can also be
used as an alternative. Using a strong and safe interlocking system, the
patented Kwikstage modular system can be built to any height.
