Presentation on Mat Foundation
This presentation summarizes the key aspects of a mat foundation. It was presented by 10 civil engineering students with their IDs listed. The presentation covered what a mat foundation is, when they are used, different types, construction procedures including soil testing, reinforcement placement, shuttering, casting, and curing. Construction steps like shoring, waterproofing and bracing were also explained depending on the depth of the foundation.

- 4. MATFoundation • a primaryshallow foundation; • a large footing extended over the whole construction area; • Usually large concrete slab supporting many columns; • Commonly used as foundation for high rise buildings with basement; • Mat is also known as Raft; • Usual depth 1~20 feet.

- 6. WhenweconstructMaTfoundation? • When thearea of individual column footings cover more then 50% area of total land; • When the bearing capacity of soil is too weak to support a structure; • When the cost of deep foundation is higher then Raft foundation. • When the structural load is too high.
- 7. TypesofMAT • Flat platemat • Plate thickened under columns • Two-way beam and slab • Plate with pedestal • Rigid frame mat • Piled raft
- 8. constructionProcedures Soil test Shoring & Water proofing Partial Excavation (dependingon depth) Bracing (depending on depth) Full area excavation Soil compaction BFS & CC or LC layer cover Reinforcement placing Shuttering Casting & Compaction Shuttering removal Curing
- 9. SoilTest • Bearing capacityof soil; • Soil classification; • Ground water level; • Moisture content; • Appropriation & depth of MAT.
- 10. Shoring • Shoring iscommonly used when installing the foundation; • Shoring support the surrounding loads until the underground levels of the building are constructed. • Can be of 3 types: Pile shore, steel sheet shore and timber shore.
- 11. Log Shore PileShore
- 12. Waterproofing • A layerprovided over shoring to prevent moisture; • Cement mortar or steel sheet layer over shoring; • Cement mortar layer is extended over wire mesh.
- 13. Bracing • A horizontalsupport for the boundary shores during excavation and foundation; • Depends on the depth of foundation; • Also known as horizontal shores.

- 16. Reinforcementplacing • Single horizontalreinforcement placing; • Reinforcement placement to complete the bottom mesh; • Column rod placement; • Vertical rod (chair) placement over bottom mesh to hold the upper mesh; • Upper mesh placement.
- 19. Importantfactors Reinforcement Selection • 60~72.5Graded • 12mm~25mm Reinforcement Joint • Heavy Steel wire binding Chair • Distance • Bending

- 21. Shuttering • Steel plateshutter; • Timber shutter.
- 22. CastMaterial • Mixture ratio1:2:4; • Sylhet sand is used over 50%; • Stone chips that are used normally is ½”~¾” in size; • Stone chips are preferred than brick chips.
- 23. Casting • Start fromone end; • Layer basis casting; • Side basis casting.
- 24. Compaction • By vibratormachine; • Compaction and casting both are done simultaneously;
- 25. Precautionsforcasting • Materials likepiece of wood, polythene etc. must be removed before casting from that area;
