In accordance with the Building Code of Pakistan (Ref. 7.2), the criteria for
classification of uncemented soil profiles are to be based on;
• 𝑣̅𝑠 = average shear wave velocity of the top 100 ft (30 m).
or
• ̅ 𝑜𝑟 ̅̅̅̅̅
𝑁 𝑁𝑐ℎ = average field SPT resistance for the top 100 ft (30 m).
or
• 𝑠̅𝑢 = average undrained shear strength for the top 100 ft (30 m).

5 FOUNDATION DESIGN
5.1 General
Various field and laboratory tests have been carried out during these geotechnical
investigations. These test results have been examined for evaluation of subsurface
conditions at the project site and determination of geotechnical design parameters.
Design parameters have been selected on the basis of field & laboratory test results,
literature and engineering judgement. Evaluations have been made for allowable
bearing pressures for the shallow foundations which are discussed in the following
sections.
5.2 Type of Foundation
Keeping in view the requirement of structural foundations and subsurface soil

conditions present at the site, strip/isolated square footings and raft/mat foundation
have been evaluated. The design criteria and geotechnical design parameters,
allowable bearing pressures for shallow foundations are discussed in the following
sections.
5.3 Design Parameters
Field and laboratory test data have been used to determine the foundation design
parameters. Following soil parameters are recommended for design of shallow
foundations below existing ground level;

5.4 Shallow Foundations
The type and depth of footings, design criteria and net allowable bearing pressures are
discussed in the following sections.
5.4.1 Depth of Foundations
Keeping in view type of building and subsurface stratigraphy, isolated square/strip

footings & raft/mat foundations were evaluated at El.-4.0m i.e. at 1.0m below basement
floor level (El. -3.0m), for various foundation sizes as shown in Fig. 5-1 and Fig. 5-2
(Appendix-A), respectively.
5.4.2 Design Criteria
For evaluation of allowable bearing pressures, the following two criteria are adopted;
i- The allowable load should not initiate shear failure of the foundation
soils, and
ii- The total as well as differential settlements caused by the application of

superimposed loads should be within specified tolerable limit of 25.4mm
for square/strip foundations and 50.8m for raft/mat foundations.
5.4.3 Allowable Bearing Pressures

The allowable bearing pressures were determined by Meyerhof (1956) approach (Ref.
7.1). The evaluated net/gross allowable bearing pressures for various foundation sizes
placed at El.-4.0m are shown on Fig. 5-1 to Fig. 5-2 (Appendix-A).
The allowable bearing pressures as provided in this report are for normal axial loads
on level ground. For eccentric loading conditions, the axial load, Pa will be:
Pa = qa . Aeff
where,
Pa = gross allowable load

Aeff = effective foundation area = (L-2ex) (B-2ey)
qa = allowable bearing pressure for axial loads, and
L = length of foundation

Doc. No. J-832
Rev. 00
B = breadth of foundation
ex = magnitude of eccentricity along L
ey = magnitude of eccentricity along B
5.4.4 Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
Modulus of subgrade reaction Ks to be used in computer model for structural analysis

can be evaluated from the basic definition of Ks by using the evaluated net allowable
bearing pressure which causes the settlement under the maximum structural load and
is as follows:
For Square/Strip foundations with 25.4 mm tolerable settlement
Ks (kN/m3) = Evaluated Net Allowable Bearing Pressure x FS______

Settlement (25.4 mm) under maximum structural pressure
For Mat foundations with 50.8 mm tolerable settlement
Ks (kN/m3) = Evaluated Net Allowable Bearing Pressure x FS______

Settlement (50.8 mm) under maximum structural pressure
Factor of Safety (FS) should be taken as 1.0.
5.5 Construction Considerations
The soils at foundation level should be carefully inspected prior to placing the
foundations to ensure that the soils are similar to those encountered in the boreholes.
For any different soil conditions, geotechnical engineer must be consulted prior to
initiating foundation construction.

section 4.6.
7. Before commencing foundation construction, it is crucial to conduct a thorough

examination of the soils at the foundation level to ensure their similarity to the
soils encountered in the boreholes. If there are any variations in the soil
conditions, it is imperative to consult a geotechnical engineer for guidance
before proceeding with the foundation construction.
