ABOUT STRUCTURAL DESIGN

WHAT IS STRUCTURAL DESIGN?
Manner in which
the load bearing (structural) members of a
physical framework support each other in sharing the
load (stress).
A STRUCTURE TO A BUILDING IS SAME AS
SKELETON TO A HUMAN BEING
FOUNDATION IS VERY IMP PART OF ANY

FOUNDATIONS – IMP POINTS
• Strength Of Any Structure Lies In Its Foundation
• It Must Rest On Firm Base
• It Must Safely Support & Transfer All Types
Loading & Their Combination
• It Must Be Strong Enough To Minimize Differential
Settlement
• Soil is not like concrete
• Soil has the most wide range of characteristics
9
FOUNDATIONS – IMP POINTS
• It Should Resists Any Chemical Attack
• Depth Of Excavation Should Be Such That It
Should Be Sufficient To Overcome The Detrimental
Soil Movements
• It Should Have Sufficient FOS Against Over
Turning & Sliding
• It Must Be Feasible, Both Technically &
Economically And Should be Practical Enough To
Build Without Adverse Effect On Surrounding
Structures.
10
FOUNDATIONS – IMP POINTS
• AVOID ECCENTRIC FOOTINGS, USE COMBINED
FOOTINGS.
• BE CAREFUL ABOUT CENTER LINES OF THE
COLUMNS, SPECIALLY IN PEB STRUCTURES
• AVOID CONCRETING IN WATER FILLED PITS.

IMPORTANCE OF GEOTECHNICAL

Bearing Capacity
• Bearing Capacity : Capacity of soil / rock to
withstand load without shear failure and within
limited settlements.
• Max. Settlement allowed as per IS are :
• Isolated footings – 50 mm to 75 mm
• Raft – 75 mm to 100 mm
• Piles – 12 mm
• Differential settlement – L / 300
• Where L = span between adjacent footings
WHY SOIL INVESTIGATION?
n
Which Foundation Can Be Rest.
• Excavation methodology
17
DEATILED INVESTIGATION IS DONE WITH THE
HELP OF –
1. Open Trial Pits
2. Bores
3. Field Tests Sampling – Un-Disturbed, Disturbed
4. Laboratory Tests
18
Open trial pits
• Depth In General 3 To 4 M
• Useful For Sampling Disturbed & Undisturbed,
Density Measurements, SPT, Permeability,
Deciding Foundation Depth.
• Advantages- Visual Observation, Large Quantity
Of Sampling At One Level, Better Insight Of
Stratification As Compared To Bore Logs Etc.
Bore drilling
• Purpose of drilling to
• Confirm Continuity of stratum in influence
zone
• Collection of UDS/DS samples
• Conduction of SPT test
• Permeability Tests
• Collection of rock cores
• Types
• Augur boring
• Rotary drilling
• Percussion drilling
Approximate Tests at Site –
1. Pencil Test – Plasticity Test, To Determine
Cohesiveness
2. Thumb Penetration Test
3. Pocket Penetrometer Test
21
Classification of Soil As Per
Occupational Safety & Health Administration [OSHA]
• Type A Soil – Include Clay, Silty Clay, Sandy Clay,
And Clay Loam, Most Stable, Cohesive, High
Unconfined Compressive Strength
• Type B Soil – Include Angular Gravel, Silt, Silt
Loam, And Soils That Are Fissured, Medium
Unconfined Compressive Strength
• Type C Soil – Include Gravel And Sand, Granular,
Least Stable, Low Unconfined Compressive
Strength

TYPES OF FOUNDATION
24
TYPES OF FOUNDATION 25
TYPES OF FOUNDATION
• Deep foundations –
- End Bearing Piles
- Well foundation
• Shallow foundations –
- Wall type or Load Bearing
- Friction Piles – Single or Double Under-Reamed
- Spread or Isolated – Trapezoidal, Box, Stepped
- Strip Footing
- Combined Footing
- Mat or Raft Footing
26
FACTORS AFFECTING TYPE OF FOUNDATION
• Type Of Soil – Black Cotton, Yellow Soil, Murum,
Hard Murum, Soft Rock, Hard Rock
• Bearing Capacity Of Soil
• Level Of Strata, Ground Water Level
• Type Of Structure
27
Isolated or Combined [Open] Footings
• Used for most buildings where the loads are light
and / or there are strong soil at shallow depth.
• These footing deliver the load directly to the
supporting soils.
• Area of footing is = Load / SBC
• Generally suitable for low rise buildings (1-5 floors)
• Requires firm soil conditions that are capable of
supporting the building on the area of the spread
footings.
• For foundation subjected to seismic or wind load
combination, stresses in steel & concrete can be
increased by 33.3% as per the code.
• Footings are designed for shear at D & D/2 dts
from face of the column.
• Footings are designed for positive pressures only,
no tension is allowed
• These are most widely used because they are
most economical

Raft foundation
Mat or Raft foundation is a large slab supporting a
number of columns under the entire structure or a
large part of the structure to lower the contact
pressure compared to spread footing.
It is recommended for the following purposes.
 When the Bearing capacity of soil is very low
 Column spacing of the structure is so close
that individual footings would overlap
 It is generally used for large loads.
• It can cope with mixed or poor ground
condition.
• It reduces differential settlement.
MAT OR RAFT FOUNDATION 39
SLAB & BEAM TYPE RAFT FOUNDATION 40
Deep Foundation
• Huge vertical load with respect to soil capacity.
• Very weak soil or problematic soil.
• Huge lateral loads e.g. Tower, chimney.
• Scour depth criteria e.g. bridge piers
• For fills having very large depth.
• Urban areas for future large and huge
construction near the existing buildings.
Deep Foundation - Piles
For soils that are compressive with heavy loads,
where deep soils can not take the building load and
where soil / rock strata of better capacity if found
deep below.
There are two types of piles.
• Friction Piles
• End Bearing Piles
• The bearing capacity of the piles depends on the
structural strength of the pile itself or the strength
of the soil, whichever is less.
DEEP FOUNDATION – PILES
• Number of Piles required depends on Safe Pile
Load, Vertical & Horizontal
• Spacing Between Two Piles –
- 2.5 x Dia Of Pile For End Bearing Piles
- 3.0 x Dia Of Pile For Friction Piles.
• Pile Caps Are Designed For Compressive Load
Cases Only, i.e. No Tension Is Allowed In Piles.
43
End Bearing Piles
 load transferred to greater depths on sound rock –
Loads are high & good stratum is not available at
shallow depths.

REINFORCEMENT DETAILING
54
REINFORCEMENT DETAILING
IMPORTANCE OF DETAILING –
1. It’s a link between planning & execution. Very
essential for proper execution of the structures.
2. For the safety of the structures.
3. Collapse of the structures can be avoided.
4. IS codes – IS:456, IS:1786, IS:13920 & SP – 34.
55
DO’s & DON’Ts FOR DETAILING –
1. Prepare the drawings properly & Accurately.
2. If possible label each & every bar. Show the shape
of bar at critical locations.
3. Indicate cover, Ldc & Ldt at imp locations.
4. Try to use minimum types of bars.
5. Grade of steel & its make shall be clearly
mentioned. Don’t use different types of grades &
various types of reinf. Bars at one site.
6. Reinf. Left for future expansion shall be properly
protected.
56
POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Mini. Reinf. - 0.12% Of Cross Sectional Area
2. Use Lower Dia Bar With Mini 100 Mm C/C Spacing
3. Cover – 50 Mm All Around
4. Avoid Over Laps.
57
5. Depth Of Footing Should Satisfy ‘Ldc & Ldt’ Criteria.
6. Dowels, Spacer bars, Chairs, etc. shall be clearly
mentioned & shown on the drawing.

Editor's Notes

  • #38 Normally structures on marshy land, soft clay and land that are made up of sanitary land fill or other materials (like debris, unconsolidated soil and solid waste etc. where differential settlement is suspected)-require raft foundation. Raft foundations are preferred in the soil that are suspected to subsidence like change in ground water level due to climatic change specially in case expansive soil or foundation in mining area. Can be used for buildings that are 10-20 stories tall where it provides resistance against overturning. Can be used where soil requires such a large bearing area and the footing might be spread to the extant that it becomes more economical to pour one large slab (thick)
