    Chapter 5 Shallow Foundations

    Uploaded by

    Vhaun Azon
    This document discusses shallow foundations, including spread footings, mat foundations, and the analysis and design of shallow foundations. It covers topics such as bearing pressure calculations, eccentric loading, and two-way bending of mat foundations. Sample problems are provided to illustrate calculation of bearing pressure for different foundation types and loading conditions.

    • Usually the more economical option


    • As a general rule, consider deep foundations
    only when shallow foundations do not give
    satisfactory design

    Example

    The 5-ft square


    footing supports
    a column load of
    100 kips.
    Compute the
    bearing pressure
    Example
    A 0.70-m wide continuous footing
    supports a wall load of 110 kN/m.
    The bottom of this footing is at a
    depth of 0.50m below the adjacent
    ground surface and the soil has a
    unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3. The
    groundwater table is at a depth of
    10m below the ground surface.
    Compute the bearing pressure.
    Net Bearing Pressure
     Net Bearing Pressure (q´)

     When q´ = 0
    Example
    The mat foundation in figure is to be 50m
    wide, 70m long, and 1.8m thick. The sum of
    the column and wall loads is 805MN. Compute
    the average bearing pressure, then compare it
    with the initial vertical effective stress in the
    soil immediately below the mat.

    Example
    The mat foundation shown in the figure
    will support four grain silos. These are
    cylindrical structures used to store
    grain. Each of the silos has an empty
    weight of 29MN, and can hold up to
    110MN of grain. The mat has a weight
    of 60MN. Since each silo is filled
    independently, the resultant load
    imposed on the mat does not
    necessarily act through the centroid.
    Evaluate the various loading conditions
    and determine whether eccentric
    loading requirements will be met. If
    these requirements are not met,
    determine the minimum mat width, B,
    needed to satisfy these requirements.
