FAQs
Q1: What are the requirements in Foundation design?
A1: When once a site is selected for a particular project, the job of the foundation engineer is to design the foundations for the structures. The following points are needed for this structure:
- A lay out plan of the project
- A plan of load bearing elements such as coulumns, walls, caissons, etc with the estimated dead and live loads
- The strength and settlement characteristics of the subsoil
- The hydraulic conditions of the site
Q2: What is compensated foundation?
A2: A compensated foundation consists of replacing a volume of the ground below the foundations with an equivalent volume of expanded clay (which has a much lower density) thereby reducing the weight and partly or wholly compensating for the loads imposed by the new building.
Q3: What is the bearing capacity of soil?
A3: It is the power of foundation soil to hold the forces from the superstructure without undergoing shear failure or excessive settlement.
Q4: What are well foundations and its types?
A4: Well foundations are one of the types of deep foundations that provide a solid and massive foundation typically for bridges and heavy structures. Well foundations are also useful for transmission line towers, where uplift loads are large. Its types are as follows:
- Open caissons.
2. Box caissons.
3. Pneumatic caissons
Q5: What is raft foundation?
A5: Raft foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab which spreads over a large area of soil and provides support for several columns and load bearing walls. It is also called as mat foundation which are widely used foundation system.
Q6: What are the different types of raft foundation?
A6:
- Flat Plate Type Raft Foundation
- Thickened Flat plate Type Raft Foundation
- Beam and Slab Type Raft Foundation
- Piled Raft Foundation
- Cellular Raft Foundation
Q7: What is Punching shear?
A7: Punching shear is a type of failure that occurs on slabs due to high localized loads. he dead and live load of the slab will generate a high shear force around the column’s support. If the columns are not well reinforced or the cross-section of columns is not big enough, the punching shear will occur.
