SBC CALCULATIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDING

Allowable SBC on the basis of Settlements are estimated in the following pages.
Foundation Strata = Silty Sandy Gravel
Ground Level = 476.780
Foundation Level = -0.932 RL
Depth Below Scour Level = 477.712 m
Minimum Dimension of Foundation = 2.00 m
Depth Correction Factor = 0.5006
Design SPT (Corrected as per IS: 2131) = 18
Refer Fig. No. 9 of IS:8009 (Part I) - 1976 =
For unit pressure, settlement = 12 mm
Water Table Correction Factor = 0.5
Depth Correction Factor =
0.5006
Rigidity Correction Factor = 0.8
Estimated Settlement after applying all factors =
9.6121 mm
Permissible Settlement = 25 mm
