DESIGN OF FOUNDATION
The selected foundation is an isolated footing, Since we have a light structure isolated footing is
economical.
DESIGN OF FOOTING
The highest axial load that transfers from the superstructure to the foundation is 3545.45KN.
-The soil profile we have is shown below. The footing is located at the depth of 6.5m below the
ground , which is at the second layer.
3m Expansive soil
Weathered rock
-The soil that we have at the second layer is clay mixed with gravel.
-Assuming that anlgle of internal friction, = 200 , and
Cohesion, C = 20Kpa.

1.2.checking pressure
From the flexural formula and the assumed dimension we can calculate the actual contact
pressures.
