SEMESTER V
CE1305 FOUNDATION ENGINEERING 3 0 0 100
OBJECTIVE
At the end of this course student acquires the capacity to investigate the soil condition and to design suitable foundation.
1. SITE INVESTIGATION AND SELECTION OF FOUNDATION 9
Scope and objectives – Methods of exploration-averaging and boring – Water boring and rotatory drilling – Depth of boring – Spacing of bore hole - Sampling – Representative and undisturbed sampling – sampling techniques – Split spoon sampler, Thin tube sampler, Stationary piston sampler – Bore log report – Penetration tests (SPT and SCPT) – Data interpretation (Strength parameters and Liquefaction potential) – Selection of foundation based on soil condition.
2. SHALLOW FOUNDATION 9
Introduction – Location and depth of foundation – codal provisions – bearing capacity of shallow foundation on homogeneous deposits – Terzaghi’s formula and BIS formula – factors affecting bearing capacity – problems - Bearing Capacity from insitu tests (SPT, SCPT and plate load) – Allowable bearing pressure, Settlement – Components of settlement – Determination of settlement of foundations on granular and clay deposits – Allowable settlements – Codal provision – Methods of minimising settlement, differential settlement.
3. FOOTINGS AND RAFTS 9
Types of foundation – Contact pressure distribution below footings & raft - Isolated and combined footings – types – proportioning - mat foundation – types – use - proportioning – floating foundation.
4. PILES 9
Types of piles and their function – Factors influencing the selection of pile – Carrying capacity of single pile in granular and cohesive soil - Static formula - dynamic formulae (Engineering news and Hiley’s) – Capacity from insitu tests (SPT and SCPT) – Negative skin friction – uplift capacity – Group capacity by different methods (Feld’s rule, Converse Labarra formula and block failure criterion) – Settlement of pile groups – Interpretation of pile load test – Forces on pile caps – under reamed piles – Capacity under compression and uplift.
5. RETAINING WALLS 9
Plastic equilibrium in soils – active and passive states – Rankine’s theory – cohesionless and cohesive soil - Coloumb’s wedge theory – condition for critical failure plane - Earth pressure on retaining walls of simple configurations – Graphical methods (Rebhann and Culmann) - pressure on the wall due to line load – Stability of retaining walls.
