    Concrete Foundation Wall Design

    Uploaded by

    Severino Jr. Salera
    The document discusses the design of concrete foundation walls. It outlines several objectives of foundation wall design including transferring load to the earth, providing strength to prevent settlement, resisting lateral soil pressure and wind/seismic forces, and isolating moisture. It also discusses considerations like withstanding erosion, proper embedment and height/width ratios, and providing lateral support. Common building materials for foundation walls are described as concrete, masonry, and wood. An example reinforced concrete foundation wall design problem is then presented.

    Concrete Foundation

    Wall Design

    Caduyac, May Ann


    Olasiman, Marrianie O.
    Foundation Wall

    O Provides support for the entire


    structure you are building

    O Should be planned and constructed

    carefully as they are probably the most


    important part of the structure
    OBJECTIVES OF FOUNDATION WALL
    DESIGN:
    O To transfer the load of the building to the footing or

    directly to the earth

    O To provide adequate strength, in combination with the

    footing when required, to prevent differential


    settlement

    O To provide adequate resistance to shear and bending

    stresses resulting from lateral soil pressure


    O To provide anchorage for the above-grade

    structure to resist wind or seismic forces

    O To provide a moisture-resistant barrier to

    below-ground habitable space, in accordance


    with the building code

    O To isolate non-moisture-resistant building


    materials from the ground
    Foundation Wall Design
    Considerations
    O Foundation wall shall be design to be

    withstand erosion, fast-moving water,


    other factors affecting those types of
    walls.
    Embedment and Height/Width
    O A foundation wall should be built in such a
    way that the top of the footing shall be no
    higher than the depth of erosion and scour
    O Foundation Wall require lateral support from
    the floor system and diaphragm, and
    connections to the top of the walls must be
    detailed properly
    O Foundation walls should be constructed high
    enough, so the bottom of the floor is above
    the design flood elevation.
    O concrete foundation walls typically are a
    nominal 6, 8, or 10 inches thick. The typical
    concrete compressive strength used in
    residential construction is 2,500 or 3,000 psi,
    although other strengths are available.
    Building Materials for Foundation
    Walls
    O Foundation walls can be built from almost

    any material, but concrete, masonry and


    wood are predominant

    O Concrete foundation must be reinforced,

    and the concrete mix must be a high-


    strength, low water-to-cement ratio
    O Reinforced Concrete Foundation Wall Design

    O Given Service loads


    Live load (L) = 1000 plf
    Dead load (D) = 750 plf
    Moment at top = 0
    Concrete weight = 150 pcf
    Backfill material = 60 pcf (equivalent fluid density)
    Wall thickness = 8 in
    Wall height = 10 ft
    Unbalanced backfill height = 8 ft
    f'c = 3,000 psi
    fy = 60,000 psi

    O Assume axial load is in middle one-third of wall. Find If one No. 5


    bar at 24 inches on center vertically is adequate for the load
    combination, U = 1.2D + 1.6H + 1.6L (chapter 3, table 3.1) when
    rebar is placed 3 inches from outer face of wall (d=5 in).
