SF7201 SHALLOW FOUNDATIONS L T P C 3 0 0 3 

OBJECTIVES:

 To impart knowledge to select, analyse and geotechnical and structural design of shallow foundation depending on ground condition.
UNIT I SHALLOW FOUNDATIOS 6 Types of foundations – Types of shallow foundation – Design concept - General requirements - Additional consideration - selection of type of foundation - hostile environment. 

UNIT II BEARING CAPACITY 9 Theories of bearing capacity – Ultimate Bearing capacity - Homogeneous - Layered soils – Rocks - Evaluation of bearing capacity from in-situ tests – Safe bearing capacity – Bearing capacity of foundations in slope – Bearing capacity under eccentric loading – Codal provisions. 

UNIT III SETTLEMENT AND ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE 9 Component of settlement-immediate, primary and secondary consolidation settlement-stress path method of settlement evaluation-layered soil - construction period correction. evaluation from in-situ tests – Allowable settlement – Allowable bearing pressure - codal provisions. 

UNIT IV INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF FOUNDATIONS 12 Analysis of foundation - isolated - strip - combined footings and mat foundations. Conventional - elastic approach - Soil Structure Interaction Principles - Application - Numerical techniques - finite element method - Software applications 

UNIT V FOUNDATION FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS 9 Structural Design of shallow foundations – Limit state method-codal provisions- Special foundations - Foundation design in relation to ground movements - Foundation on compressible fills – Foundation for tower-Design of Foundation for seismic forces - Codal Provisions 

TOTAL: 45 PERIODS OUTCOME:
 Students are able to select, analyse and design shallow foundation based on both the type of soil and loading.
