Design of foundationReinforced concrete foundations, or footings, transmit loads from a structure to the supporting soil. Footings are designed based on the nature of the loading, the properties of the footing and the properties of the soil.
Traditionally the geometry of a footing or a pile cap is selected using un-factored loads. The structural design of the foundation is then completed using strength design in accordance with ACI 318. We have complete the design in according to ACI 318-99 code which is mentioned as examples in famous book named Design of Concrete Structures by Author H. Nilson , David Darwin , Charles W. Dolan. |
Instructions for using the excel file
Users have to input his / her data in the blue colored cell. Green colored cell is indicating the required result. Designs are performed in both FPS and SI units. Both are mentioned here in two different sheets. Requires Data like steel area, bearing capacity values for different soils etc are added so that users can easily input their required values. Figures are included with reinforcement detailing. A Design example is also being added for better understanding.
