i) Input Data
Foundation Length ( L ) = 0.60 m
Foundation width ( B ) = 0.60 m
Depth of Foundation ( D ) = 0.45 m
Total height of foundation (S2) = 0.60 m
Ht.above the NGL to Top of Grout (S1) = 0.15 m

Gross Bearing pressure = 158.10 kN/m2
Comp.Strength of Conc. ( fc ) = 30.00 N/mm2
Yeild Strength of steel. ( fy ) = 414.00 N/mm2
Density of Soil ( Үs ) = 18.00 kN/m3

Vertical Load ( P1 ) = 11.85 kN
Load along X-axis ( Hx ) = 3.02 kN
Load along Z-axis ( Hz ) = 3.30 kN
Moment about - X ( Mx ) = 0.00 kN-m
Moment about - Z ( Mz ) = 0.00 kN-m
Coefficient of friction ( п ) = 0.4

ii) Weight of Foundation

Wt.of Conc.Base ( Wf ) = L x D x B x Yc
= 5.18 kN
Total Vertical Reaction ( P ) = Wf + P1
= 17.03 kN
iii)Moment at Base

a).About X-X axis Mx = (Hz x S2) +Mx

= 1.98 kN-m
b).About Z-Z axis Mz = (Hx x S2) +Mz
= 1.81 kN-m

Maximum Soil Pressure :

qmax = P + 6Mx + 6Mz
LB BL2 LB2 < δa = 158.10 KN/m

= 152.77 kN/m HENCE SAFE

Minimum Soil Pressure :

qmin = P - 6Mx - 6Mz
LB BL2 LB2 < δa = 158.10 KN/m2

2
= -58.14 kN/m HENCE SAFE
iv)Stability Checks:
Factor of Safety Against overturning:
FOS = Resisting moment (RM)
Overturning moment (OM)
Resisting moment (RM) = P x (B/2)
= 5.11 KN-m
Overturning moment (OM) = Mx = 1.98 kN-m
Mz = 1.81 kN-m
FOS = RM
OM
= 2.58 > 1.8
HENCE SAFE
Factor of Safety Against sliding :
Resisting Force RF = Pxп
= 6.81 KN

HENCE SAFE

v) Reinforcement for Foundation:

The minimum steel for the foundation shall be 0.0018% (As per ACI 318M - 11_Cl.7.12.2)

Minimum reinforcement required = 0.0018

Maximum value has been taken

Minimum Reinforcement required for the Block:

Block Concrete Volume = 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.22 m3

Reinforcement Required = 0.0018 x 0.22 = 0.99 kg

Reinforcement Provided:

12 mm dia rebar weight = π/4x(12/1000)2 x 7850 = 0.89 kg/m

10 mm dia rebar weight = π/4x(10/1000)2 x 7850 = 0.62 kg/m

Outer Face along length vertical 12 dia Rebars provided = 8.00 Nos.

= 0.89 x 0.45 x 8 = 3.20 kg

Horizontal tie rods - 10 dia = 8.00 Nos.

= 0.62 x 1.8 x 8 = 12.82 kg

Therefore, Total Steel Provided = 3.2 +12.82 = 16.02 > 0.99 kg (Reqd)

Hence, Reinforcement OK

6.0 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS:

From the presented analysis & design calculations it is concluded that the foundation sizes as shown in
design and reinforcement provided are adequate to carry the expected loading.
