13. AN INTRODUCTION TO FOUNDATION ENGINEERING

13-1 13. AN INTRODUCTION TO FOUNDATION ENGINEERING TYPES OF foundations The FOUNDATION is that portion of a structure that transmits the loads from the structure to the underlying FOUNDATION material. There are two major requirements to be satisfied in the design of foundations : (a) Provision of an adequate factor of safety against failure of the FOUNDATION material. Failure of the FOUNDATION material may lead to failure of the FOUNDATION and may also lead to failure of the entire structure. (b) Adequate provision against damage to the structure which may be caused by total or differential settlements of the foundations . In order to satisfy these requirements it is necessary to carry out a thorough exploration of the FOUNDATION materials together with an investigation of the properties of these materials by means of laboratory or field testing.

8. STRENGTH OF SOILS AND ROCKS

people.eng.unimelb.edu.au

The tensile strength of soil is very low or negligible and in most analyses it is considered to be zero. In contrast a number of direct or indirect tensile strength tests are commonly carried out for rock. In a direct tensile strength test a cylindrical rock specimen is stressed along its axis by means of a tensile force.

depth of (z 1 + z 2) below the ground surface) in Fig. 3.3 (b) and the distribution of the effective vertical stress as a function of depth is shown by the shaded area in this figure. For depths of less than z 1 below the ground surface the total and effective stresses are equal since the pore pressure is zero. The effective horizontal stress σ '

The pressure head h p is a measure (in units of length) of the pore pressure of the water in the soil. Again referring to Fig. 4.5 the pressure head at any point P may be found by measuring

11. THE STABILITY OF SLOPES

people.eng.unimelb.edu.au

In the special case where the slope is formed of a saturated clay the angle of shearing resistance ( φu) will be zero for the short term case. The maximum resisting shear stress around the failure arc will then be equal to the undrained cohesion (c u). If the undrained cohesion is a

This engages the strength of multiple micropiles or anchors while creating a larger platform at grade level to connect the foundation system to the tower structure.

Soil properties and parameters, and Foundation Systems Frost Depth (Frost Line or Freezing Depth) —is the depth to which the groundwater in soil is expected to freeze due to temperature drop. The frost line varies by latitude; it is deeper closer to the poles. It ranges in the United States from about zero to six feet.
