Introduction
The Purpose of this project is to design a foundation that will apply to a structure to comply with
final project submission. Codes and Standards are governing by ACI, UBC, ASTM and NSCP 2015 to
pass the material and standard for designing foundation that suit for building. Design Loads are also
covered by Exposure and Earthquake force which include already tested soil bearing capacity within
the location of the project.
For Design Analysis and Modeling, Designer use Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis
Professional 2024.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL BACKGROUND
1.1 Introduction
Foundation, Part of a structural system that supports and anchors the superstructure of
a building and transmits its loads directly to the earth. To prevent damage from repeated freeze-thaw
cycles, the bottom of the foundation must be below the frost line. The foundations of low-rise residential
buildings are nearly all supported on spread footings, wide bases (usually of concrete) that support walls
or piers and distribute the load over a greater area. A concrete grade beam supported by isolated
footings, piers, or piles may be placed at ground level, especially in a building without a basement, to
support the exterior wall. Spread footings are also used—in greatly enlarged form—for high-
rise buildings. Other systems for supporting heavy loads include piles, concrete caisson columns, and
building directly on exposed rock. In yielding soil, a floating foundation—consisting of rigid, boxlike
structures set at such a depth that the weight of the soil removed to place it equals the weight of the
construction supported—may be used.
To distribute the weight of the structure over a large area in order to avoid overloading the underlying
soil (possibly causing unequal settlement).
To anchor the structure against natural forces including earthquakes, floods, droughts, frost heaves,
tornadoes and wind.
To provide a level surface for construction.
To anchor the structure deeply into the ground, increasing its stability and preventing overloading.
4
To prevent lateral movements of the supported structure (in some cases).

This design aims to acquire a footing design that is safe and economical on which all reinforcement
Are scheduled and test are verified by software and related code.
The Design is only for conceptual stage that may subject to change with accordance with the
requirements put by the Designer. The load acting on the structure is verified to include 3 storey building
Including soil bearing assumption within the Zone and type of soil settled on projected site location.
Limitation of the design are Electrical, Mechanical and Sanitary design, Archectural design is not
included as well but dead load is already acquired for Load calculation purposes.

CHAPTER 2: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Isolated footings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including spread, stepped, and sloped footings.
The most common shapes are square, rectangular, and round. The soil condition and the pattern of exerted
loads determine which type of footing is used. When columns are placed at relatively long distances,
isolated footings are one of the most cost-effective types of footings.
6
Isolated or single footings are structural elements that are used to transmit and distribute loads from single
columns to the earth without exceeding the soil’s bearing capacity, as well as to prevent excessive
settlement and provide enough protection against sliding and overturning. They are also employed when
there are light column loads, when columns are not tightly spaced, and when the soil is uniform.
A pad foundation is built to sustain concentrated loads from a single point load, such as a structural column.
Another name for this is a simple spread footing.

The stepped footings are stacked on top of each other. To make steps, three concrete cross-sections are
typically piled on top of each other.

Advantage Disadvantage
Isolated Footing are cost- effective. The earth must be stable all the way around the
structure’s base.
The independent Footing are simple to build It may be very huge in size to cope with heavy
load.
Even unskilled workers can construct it Because of the spate foundations, this design is
vulnerable to different settle that could harm the
structure.
It necessitates minimal excavation of earth

To give rise for the intended use or purpose of the structure that will be built. A step-by-step procedure
is executed to initially generate the designer’s task to examine methodically and in detail the
constitution of the structure typically for purpose and interpretation.
Performing the analysis on software is the initial part of the process. To initially model we used
Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2024 and for analysis we used. The designer also
used (2015 National Code Standards (NSCP) and related manuals codes.

The soil incorporated of carrying the loads from the structure placed upon it without any shear failure and
resulting settlements. Being acceptable for structure.
A soil shear failure can result in excessive building distortion and even collapse whereas excessive settlement
can result in structural damage to a building frame.
Shear resistance and settle are already calculated using the Autodesk robot structural analysis 2024.
The recommended allowable bearing capacity 𝑞𝑎 to be used for design is based on minimum of either.
1. Limiting the settlement to acceptable amount
2. The ultimate bearing capacity, which considers soil strength, as computed in the following sections.
The allowable bearing capacity based on shear control 𝑞𝑎 is obtained by reducing (or dividing) the ultimate
bearing capacity 𝑞𝑢𝑙𝑡 (based on soil strength) by a safety factor SF that is deemed adequate to avoid a
base shear failure to obtain
