Additional reinforcement may be placed at the location of the larger capacity. 416 Step 4: Design for punching shear The maximum vertical load occurs at the column that carries 2880 KN. Thus, the ultimate load is obtained by multiplying this load by the load factor of 1.5. P, =1.5P.y, = 15x 2880 = 4320 kN The critical perimeter is at d/2 from the face of the column.

The bearing capacity of the soil equals 200 kN/m’ at E.L. The material properties are fey =35 N/mm? and f, = 360 N/mm”. Based on the recommendations of the geotechnical report, it is decided to use a rigid raft as a foundation system. The building is provided with relatively rigid shear walls in the two orthogonal directions to resist the lateral loads. Consequently, analysis of the building under lateral loads could be carried out in each direction independent of the other. The following data are available from the analysis of the building in the X-direction: 1- The total unfactored moment (M, ) due to earthquake =16000.0 kN.m (reversible). The resultant of the unfactored gravity load at the foundation level = 68000.0 KN and is located as shown in Fig. BX 5.9a. 2- Structural analysis of the building under the case of the earthquake acting in the X- direction and under the critical load combination has resulted in the following straining actions at the foundation level: Column | Ultimate M,(KN.m) | Ultimater load (KN) (A-1) 0 950 (wi) 3000 4200 (A4) 0 1350 (B-1) 0 1850 (B2) 0 4050 @-3) 0 4950 (4) 0 2750 cy 0 2150 (W3) 0 6500 wa) 0 3900 (C-4) 0 3200 @-1) 0 2150 (D-4) 0 3200 1) 0 2150 (2) 0 4750 3) 0 5800 (4) 0 3200 &1) 0 1300 w2) 12000 7000 e4) 0 1900 Analysis for the building for the case of the earthquake acting in the in ‘Y-direction provides straining actions that are not given since the example will be worked out only for the case of the earthquake acting in the in X-direction. 420 5.375 ® 14.75m 5.00 = eH g + 450 x 450 (typ. © ¥ E al on 5 8 g is = oO ©-|+—" 8 * | @+(—+t 3.875 Fig. EX. 5.9a Axes and Columns 421 Solution Step 1: Dimensions of the raft Wherever possible, it is recommended to extend the raft beyond the edge columns by a distance that ranges from 0.5 m to 1.0 m. In this building, itis decided to extend the raft by 0.75 m from all the edge columns, except those located near the property line as shown in Fig. Ex S5.9b. As a role of thumb, it is a common practice to assume the thickness of the raft for multistory buildings to be equal to the number of stories multiplied by (80 mm to 100 mm). Accordingly, the thickness of the raft is assumed 1100 mm. Step 2: Check stresses on soil In order to check the stresses on the soil, one has to calculate the area of the raft (A), the moment of inertia about the X-axis and the moment of inertia about the Y-axis.

It can be easily proved that the eccentricities ¢,and ey, as shown in Fig. EX 5.9b, are given by: e =0.3m ey =0.5m Since the moment due to the earthquake is reversible, one should consider the direction in which the moment due to the earthquake and that due to the eccentricity of the resultant of the gravity loads have the same sign.

Many commercial computer programs are well documented and can be used. In this example, the well-known structural analysis program SAP-2000 was used in the analysis. Figure 5.9d shows the finite element mesh used in the analysis. The majority of the elements had dimensions 0.5m x 0.5m. At some locations, however, smaller element dimensions were used. An approximate estimate of the coefficient of subgrade reaction is obtained as follows: k, =120xsoil bearing capacity = 120 x 200 = 24000 Nim? The soil at each joint is modeled as a spring having a stiffness K. The stiffness of each spring‘is obtained by multiplying the coefficient of subgrade reaction by the area served of each node as follows: Stiffness of a spring at a comer node K =k, Ava = 24000x 0.0625=1500KN /m Stiffness of a spring at an exterior node K =k Area _ 44900x0.125 = 3000KN /m ae Stiffness of a spring at an interior node K =k, xArea = 24000x0.25 = 6000KN /m Step 3.2: Modeling the acting forces and moments A: Columns Interior columns were represented by three nodes to take into account their relatively large dimensions. Forces and moments acting on each column were assumed to be acting on the three nodes. Exterior and corner columns were represented by two nodes. B: Shear walls Jn order to model the forces and moments acting on the shear walls, it was assumed -that the gravity load could be divided among all the points representing ‘he wall, whereas the moment could be represented by compression forces and tension forces acting at the nodes. 425 Distribution of loads on (W:) The wall is subjected to a normal force (-4200 kN) and a bending moment (8000 kN.m). The force at each node is evaluated by the superposition principle as follows: A-Normal force This wall is modeled using 22 nodes.

For shear walls, however, the resulting forces given in Table EX 1 that represents the applied moments and normal force were assigned to the nodes of the shear walls.

Step 4.2: Flexural Design Step 4.2.1: Critical sections The computer output of the raft foundation consists of bending moments acting in the two directions My (x-direction in this case) and Mo (y-direction in this case). The graphical representation is in the form of contour lines, in which each contour line represents a certain bending moment value as shown in Fig. EX. 9.5d . It should be mentioned that closely spaced contour lines indicate concentration of stresses. This usually occurs at the locations of the columns. When designing the bottom reinforcement of the raft one should use the value of the bending moment at the face of the column. 432 SeSmec apsh se] Tas] EAS eS Tiss 5) ze Isis rela | Fig. EX 9.5d Computer output 433 Step 4.2.2: Design of sections The design for flexure for a critical section of 1.0 m width is carried out as follows : Using the design aids (C1-J) curve bd = 222 «1000x1030 =1716 mm? (5@22/m’) Itvis decided to use a mesh 5 ® 22 /m’ top and bottom, and use addtioal reinforcement where needed. It should be mentioned that the above procedure should be repeated for the case in which the earthquake load acting in the X-direction but.in the reversed direction. In such a case, the moments acting on the shear walls will be reversed and the procedure described for transforming the moments and the normal forces acting on the shear walls into nodal forces will be followed. Moreover, the raft should be analyzed for the case in which the earthquake load is actin in the Y-direction (straining actions are not given for that case). The final reinfocement of the raft should cover all the cases. 434 Additional top rt. Additional bottom rft.
