The building could be supported on ground beams and piles taken down to a firm base, but in ROOF
this case the solution chosen is to design a wide reinforced strip foundation capable of SHEET PILE
spanning across a soft area of nominal width. SITE EXPLORATION

To minimize differential settlements and allow for the soft areas, the allowable bearing

pressure will be limited to na = 50 kN/m2 throughout. Soft spots encountered during

construction will be removed and replaced with lean mix concrete; additionally, the footing
will be designed to span 2.5 m across anticipated depressions. This value has been derived STEEL
from the guidance for local depressions given later on raft foundations. The ground floor slab STONE

If the foundations and superstructure are being designed to limit state principles, loads
should be kept as separate unfactored characteristic dead and imposed values (as above),
both for foundation bearing pressure design and for serviceability checks. The loads should
then be factored up for the design of individual members at the ultimate limit state as usual.
For foundations under dead and imposed loads only, factoring up loads for reinforcement
design is best done by selecting an average partial loadRTX

From Fig. 11.22, the combined partial safety factor for superstructure loads is γP = 1.46.
Weight of base and backfill, f = average density × depth

= 20 × 0.9
= 18.0 kN/m2
This is all dead load, thus the combined partial load factor for foundation loads, γF = 1.4.

Thus vu < vc = 0.49 N/mm2, therefore no shear reinforcement is needed.
Depression at corner of building

The previous calculations have assumed that the depression is located under a continuous
strip footing. The
depression could also occur at the corner of a building where two footings would meet at
right angles. A similar calculation should then be carried out, to provide top reinforcement for
both footings to cantilever at these corners.
