Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST
A structure essentially consists of two parts, namely the super structure which is above the plinth level and the substructure which is below the plinth level.
Definition of Foundations
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 3
Definition of Foundations
The substructure or foundation
is the part of a structures that is usually placed below the surface of the ground to transmit the load from the superstructure to the underlying soil or rock.
Generally about 30% of the total construction cost is spent on the foundation.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 4
Definition of Foundations
Footings are those parts of the foundation which
resting directly on the soil, support specific portion of building and distributed building loads directly to the soil.
The most efficient footing and foundation system is that transmit building loads mostly to the soil without exceeding the bearing capacity of the soil.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 5
Definition of Foundations
All soil compress noticeably when loaded and cause the supported structure to settle.If soil of sufficient bearing capacity lies immediately below the structure then the load can be spread by footings as shown below.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 6
� Loads must be carried by a foundation system would include the dead load of the building and live loads of it occupants and contents.
� Foundation system must resist lateral loads from both ground pressure and wind, and provide anchorage for the building superstructure against uplift and racking force.
Requirements for Foundations
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 7
Requirements for Foundations
� The most critical factor in determine the foundation system of building is the type and bearing capacity of the soil to which the building loads are distributed. ( Adequate safety)
� Small settlements ( Total and differential settlement)� Construction problems ( stability of excavation
bottom heave ground water problems)� Economical requirement

Footing depth and spacing
1. The forts line 2. Zones of high volume change due to moisture
fluctuations.3. Top soil or organic material4. Peat and muck 5. Unconsolidated material such as abandoned
garbage dumps and similar filled in areas.
Footings should be carried below:
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 9
Footing depth and spacing
Foundations should be placed at an acceptable level with respect to adjacent foundations.Foundations should be placed sufficiently away from the edge of a sloping ground
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 10
Footing depth and spacing
When footings are to be placed adjacent to an existing structure, as indicated in figure (1) the line from the base of the new footing to the bottom edge of the existing footing should be or less with the horizontal plane.From this requirement it follows that the distance mof figure (1) should be greater than the difference in elevation of the two footings, Z.

The difference in levels between adjacent foundations should not cause undesirable overlapping between stresses.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 12
Excavation may cause settlement to old foundation due to lateral bulging in the excavation and/or shear failure due to reduction in overburden stress in the surrounding of old foundation

Footing depth and spacing
Figure (2) indicates that if the new footing is lower than the existing footing there is a possibility that the soil may flow laterally from beneath the existing footing. This may increase the amount of excavation. Somewhat but, more importantly may result in settlement cracks in the existing building.

The two main types of foundation are :
�Shallow foundation (spread, combined,
and mat foundations) and
�Deep foundation: Pile foundation

Raft ( Mat ) Foundation
Strip footing in both directions
Strip footing in both direction may be sufficient to spread the load and reduce soil pressure to acceptable levels. If not a raft foundation may be give suitable bearing pressure.

Deep Foundations
� Pile Foundations
If a soil pressure has insufficient
bearing capacity then it is necessary to use deep foundation, such as pile, to transmit the load to deeper, firmer strata.

Bearing Pressure Under Footings
Actual pressure is not uniform due to:
1) Footing flexibility
2) Depth of footing below ground surface
3) Type of soil
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 33
Soil Pressure Distribution
For a concentrically loaded pad footing the bearing pressure distribution for a cohesive soil is the pressure are higher near the edge because the load produces a shear resistance a round the perimeter which adds to the upward pressure.

Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 34
Soil Pressure Distribution
For cohesionless soil the pressure are higher at the center because the individual grains of soil at the perimeter can shift very slightly outwards to where the soil stresses are less. N

Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 35
Soil Pressure Distribution
For design purpose, provided the load is symmetrical with respect to the bearing area, it is usual to disregard these variations and assume an uniform bearing pressure.

Stability
Foundation and retaining walls must be designed to resist both overturning and sliding.
�Overturning : To prevent overturning the restoring moment due to the vertical load must be greater than the overturning moment, thus

Bearing capacity of soil
Bearing capacity of soil :
� It is defined as the maximum load per unit area which the soil will resist safely without displacement
� The bearing capacity of the soil can be found by loading the soil, noting the settlement and by dividing the maximum load by the area on
which the load is applied.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 40
Main components of a structure including soil

portion of ground
which is subjected to
additional stresses when
foundation and
superstructure are
constructed on the ground.

�By increasing the depth of foundation.
�By draining the sub-soil water.
�By compacting the soil.
�By confining the soil mass.
�By cement grouting.
�By injecting chemicals like silicates etc.

Modes of shear failure
�Depending on the stiffness of foundation soil and depth of foundation, the following are the modes of shear failure experienced by the foundation soil.
1. General shear failure
2. Local shear failure
3. Punching shear failure
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 47
General Shear Failure
�This type of failure is seen in dense and stiff soil
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 48
Local Shear Failure
�This type of failure is seen in relatively loose and soft soil.
Dr. Abdulmannan Orabi IUST 49
Punching Shear Failure
�This type of failure is seen in loose and soft soil and at deeper elevations. The failure surface in soil will not extend to the ground surface.
