From Bowels
A mat must be stable against deep shear failure, which
may result in a rotational failure or punch shear failure.
This kind of failure should also be given importance as
Deep seated shear failure.
From Braja.M.Das
The net ultimate capacity of a mat foundation is
IRC 78
The bearing capacity of the soil should be adequate. The
founding strata should be not less than 300 mm below
the lowest bed level at low water level.
The soil profile of the channel where soil is to be laid
should be more or less than uniform so as to provide
uniform subgrade reaction from the soil.
The bearing capacity of the soil should be adequate. The
founding strata should be not less than 300 mm
The top of the floor shall be kept at least 300 mm below
the lowest bed level to prevent floor acting as a weir
when retrogression of levels take place.
