In any building

• the superstructure

• the substructure (foundations)

• the supporting soil

act together to give the building structural stability

Foundations are the vital link between the superstructure and the ground.

The criteria for a successful foundation are:

• it should be at a minimum depth and size, without exceeding the allowable bearing capacity of any soil layer below the foundation.

• it should have settlement consistent with the supporting structure

• it should be able to withstand natural ground movements from frost, moisture and heat

• regard is given to buildability

• it should be economical

The principles of foundations.

The basic function of a foundation is to intercept the load exerted by a building structure and transfer this load to the supporting soil in such a way that the building will not sink into the ground (subside)

Structural stability is normally achieved in either of two ways, or indeed a combination of both.

– Spread the load exerted by the building over a sufficiently wide area to prevent the supporting ground being overstressed

– Divert or transfer the load to a strata, deep in the ground, which is capable of supporting the imposed load without failure

When a building is placed on the ground it exerts a force on the soil. Safe foundations place that load such that the soil is not overloaded.The ability of the ground or soil to “bear” a load varies with types of soil and ground depth

• Be constructed of materials that will not be degraded by chemicals found in the soil around the foundation. Normally foundations are composed of concrete and when conditions demand, the specification of the concrete will need to be altered to avoid corrosive elements in the soil.

• Able to withstand the effect of frost (also applies to services buried in ground)

To achieve this basic function the foundation must be:

TYPES OF SOIL

RockThe hardest rock is igneous e.g. granite and basalt. Normally they have a high safe bearing capacity, 2-3 times that of sedimentary rocks and 25-30 times that of clays and sands. Generally bedrock is an excellent base to build on but unfortunately the cost of levelling and the cost of excavating service trenches outweighs the initial advantage of a good natural base.

Course grained non-cohesive soilsGravels and sands come under this heading. When loaded they shear if unconfined. The particles slide over each other at an angle known as the angle of internal friction .

Fine grained cohesive soilsThese include clays and silts. The major problem with these types of soil is that their nature changes with the level of moisture in the soil. When the soil drys out they shrink, but when the moisture content is increased the soil swells. When water trapped in the soil freezes it can cause vertical heave

Types of soil

Organic soilsThese include peat, loam and mud. Generally unsuitable for building on. Normally 150-200 mm thick. Such soil (top soil) is usually removed before building begins.

Made up soilAs the stock of quality building land diminishes, poorer ground is often used. Today made up ground is being utilised. Extreme care should be taken to ensure that such land is properly investigated.

QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION IN CLASS

The loads exerted by the building vary according to the size, use and form of construction used.

What loads are exerted by a building on to the ground below the building?

As discussed in unit 2, the building is exposed to both dead and live loads

Permanent or dead loads: the weight of the structure, cladding and fixed equipmentTemporary or live loads : imposed loads – people furniture, non-fixed equipment. environmental or dynamic loads - snow or wind.thermal loads – temperature changes causing load on structure

To achieve this basic function the foundation must be:

Strong enough to prevent downward vertical loads shearing through the foundation

Stable so that it will not overturn .Whenever possible loads on foundations should be placed centrically.

Capable of withstanding the opposing forces, the weight of the building and the resistance of the soil, such that the foundation will not bend

• Capable of withstanding changing conditions in the ground if they occur, e.g. movement caused by shrinking and swelling, water pressure, etc.

• Accommodate initial settlement of the structure. It is especially important that uneven settlement does not occur.

• That the installation of foundations does not overstress the ground such that adjacent existing foundations and services are damaged. It should be noted that the installation of new ground based services can undermine existing foundations. It should also be noted that where services pass under or adjacent to foundations the load exerted on them by the foundations may cause failure. In such situations, such as a sewer collapse this may in turn undermine the foundation.

To achieve this basic function the foundation must be:

BUILDING NEAR TREES

The combination of shrinkable soils and trees, hedgerows or shrubs represents a hazard to structures that requires special consideration. Trees, hedgerows and shrubs take moisture from the ground and, in cohesive soils such asclay, this can cause significant volume changes resulting in ground movement. This has the potential to affect foundations and damage the supported structure. In order to minimise this risk, foundations should be designed to accommodate the movement or be taken to a depth where the likelihood of damaging movement is low.
