Mar 02, 2012· J.B. Blackmon, in Concentrating Solar Power Technology, 2012 17.4.4 Foundation or pier. For the same basic configuration, soil bearing pressure, and imposed load, the weight of both the soil removed for a representative augered pier and the weight of the pier foundation, per unit heliostat area, are proportional to the square root of the heliostat area.
The foundation system consists of 2.0 m thick reinforced concrete raft foundation resting on 10 cm thick of plain concrete that lay on jointed and partly weathered basalt and scoria rocks, as shown in
The maximum load is generally 1.5 times the expected ultimate load or 3 times of the expected allowable bearing pressure. After collection of field data, the load-settlement curve is drawn. It is a logarithmic graph where the load applied is plotted on X-axis and settlement in Y-axis.
When the eccentricity, e < B/6, the minimum pressure is grader than zero always. However, when e > B/6, minimum pressure will be as indicated in the above figure. The important factor is that the maximum pressure under the foundation due to the eccentric loading shall not be greater than the allowable bearing pressure.
At this allowable bearing pressure, the required area of a square base would be A = P/n a = 1500/280 = 5.36 m 2 = 2.31 m × 2.31 m However examination of Fig. N.1 indicates that a larger width of base will result in a lower allowable bearing pressure. A 2.4 m × 2.4 m base will therefore be assumed; from Fig. N.1 this gives an allowable bearing ...

Sep 22, 2015· The safe bearing capacity of soil should be determined on the basis of soil test data or by performing some field test such as Standard penetration test or Plate load test etc. However, in the absence of soil test data, the values of safe bearing capacity (S.B.C) as given in the following table may be used as a guide for preliminary analysis. Sl.

The most general format for the allowable bearing pressure, q a, under a shallow foundation with depth H from the surface, may be assumed to be compatible with the weight of the soil column above the foundation base and therefore may be expressed as q a = γ H / n (1) where, γ = unit weight (kN/m3), n = factor of safety. The foundation depth ...
building rests may also be called the foundation, and its surface the foundation bed. 4.2 Foundation of Foundation The function of a foundation is to distribute the load over a larger area at a uniform rate so that the pressure on the soil below does not exceed its allowable bearing capacity. Foundations can be built from various types of ...

Foundations Spread and wall footing foundation bearing on the in-situ stiff and undisturbed· clayey silt can be aesigned for an allowable bearing pressure of 5,0 0 poQnds per square foot. The soils are not sensitive to impact loading. The bearing value can, therefore, be increased to 7,000 pounds per square foot when considering

Nov 01, 2010· The calculated Allowable Bearing Capacity (qa)based on Peck. et al graph is 2700 KPa..The area is located on a flat to undulating topography with slope ranging from 5-10 degrees. Can you suggest any other alternative in the calculation of the allowable bearing capacity for a bedrock mat foundation?
The bearing capacity of soil is define as the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. There are two types of bearing capacity of soil:- 1) Ultimate bearing capacity and 2) Allowable bearing capacity. The ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure ...
The allowable bearing capacity is normally calculated from the ultimate bearing capacity using a factor of safety (F s). When excavating for a foundation, the stress at founding level is relieved by the removal of the weight of soil. The net bearing pressure (q n) is the increase in stress on the soil. q n = q - …

Maximum base pressure should be multiplied by the safety factor and then compared with the allowable bearing capacity of the soil. However the above mentioned equations have limitations. They can be applied to footings where settlement failure governs, but cannot be related to footings where shear failure occurs before reaching the allowable ...
Soil allowable bearing pressure at existing foundation level • Soil allowable bearing pressure after removal of overburden • Soil allowable bearing pressure at the base of pin • Possible presence and influence of underground water • Where tier underpinning is contemplated, soil capacity at each tier bottom needs to be determined. •
A ma~imum allowable bearing value of 2500 pounds per square foot may be used for pier and post foundations deepened to at least three ( 3) feet below finished grade. In lieu of deepening the foundation, the footing may be excavated to bedro~k and then backfilled to bottom of footing with com-pacted rock base.
Peck et al, (1974) have related the RQD to the allowable bearing pressure qa as given in Table 12.5 The RQD for use in Table 12.5 should be the average within a depth below foundation level equal to the width of the foundation, provided the RQD is fairly uniform within that depth.
The bearing pressure of foundation soils. Soils are measured for their allowable bearing pressure. The allowable bearing pressure is the soil's ability to carry the load of a building and its contents without excessive settlement. For one and two-storey buildings, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) requires a minimum bearing pressure of only: ...
