Foundations carry and distribute loads from structures to the ground to prevent excessive settlement. There are several foundation types including strip, pad, and raft foundations which can bear directly on the ground or be supported by piles. The choice depends on ground conditions and the structure's layout and loading. Pad footings support single columns while strip footings support load-bearing walls or closely spaced columns. Raft foundations distribute loads over a large area for poor soil conditions. The document provides an example of designing a square pad footing to support a column based on loadings and soil capacity.

Reinforced Concrete (RC) design is the process of planning and specifying the construction of structures or components using reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete is a composite material made up of concrete (a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates) and reinforcing steel bars or mesh, which enhances its strength and durability. RCC is commonly used in the construction of buildings, bridges, dams, highways, and various other infrastructure projects due to its versatility and strength.
It's important to note that RCC design can be quite complex and should be carried out by experienced structural engineers who have a deep understanding of the principles, codes, and standards related to reinforced concrete design. Additionally, local building authorities and regulations must be followed to ensure the safety and compliance of the structure.
Here are the key steps involved in RCC design:
Structural Analysis: The first step in RCC design is to analyze the structural requirements of the project. This involves determining the loads that the structure will need to support, such as dead loads (permanent loads like the weight of the structure itself) and live loads (variable loads like people, furniture, and equipment). Structural analysis helps in understanding the internal forces and moments acting on the structure.
Material Properties: Understanding the properties of the materials used in RCC is crucial. This includes knowledge of concrete mix design (proportions of cement, water, aggregates, and admixtures), as well as the properties of reinforcing steel (yield strength, tensile strength, etc.).
Design Codes and Standards: RCC design must adhere to local building codes and standards, which dictate safety and design criteria. These standards may vary by region or country, so it's important to consult the relevant codes for your project.
Structural Design: The structural design phase involves selecting appropriate dimensions for the structural elements (beams, columns, slabs, etc.) to withstand the anticipated loads. This involves calculations and considerations for factors like safety, serviceability, and economy.
Reinforcement Design: Once the structural elements are sized, the design of the reinforcement (rebar or mesh) is carried out. This includes determining the quantity, size, spacing, and placement of reinforcement to ensure the concrete can handle the expected tensile forces.
Detailing: Detailed drawings and specifications are created, specifying all the design details, including reinforcement layouts, concrete cover, joint locations, and more. Proper detailing is essential for construction contractors to follow the design accurately.
After construction, proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safety of the structure. This includes routine inspections, repairs, and protection against environmental factors like corrosion.
Quality control measures, such as testing concrete and inspecting reinforcement
Footings are structural members that support columns and walls and transmit their loads to the soil in a way that does not exceed the soil's load bearing capacity or cause excessive settlement. There are different types of footings including isolated, combined, cantilever, continuous, rafted, and pile caps that are used depending on the column layout and soil conditions. Properly designing footings involves determining loads, allowable soil pressures, footing sizes, settlements, and other factors according to code requirements.
Pile foundations transfer structural loads to deeper, stronger soil strata by bearing loads through end bearing or shaft friction. Piles can be classified as end bearing or friction piles depending on whether they transmit loads primarily through their base or sides. Common pile types include driven piles, which are displaced during installation, and bored piles or replacement piles, which are formed by machine boring. Pile capacity is estimated based on soil properties and load tests may be used to verify estimates.
The document discusses foundations and their design. It defines foundations as structures that transmit loads from superstructures to underlying soil or rock. Foundations are categorized as either shallow or deep depending on their embedment depth. Key factors in selecting a foundation type include loads, subsurface conditions, performance requirements, and materials. Foundation design involves checking bearing capacity, settlement, and structural integrity. Shallow foundations like spread and combined footings are further described in terms of their geometry, loading conditions, and structural design.
The document discusses different types of foundations for buildings. It describes shallow foundations, which are near the surface, and deep foundations, which are deeper. Shallow foundations include spread footings, combined footings, strap footings, and mat/raft foundations. Deep foundations include pile foundations, which transfer load through friction or end bearing, and pier foundations. The document provides details on different types of piles based on material, function, and construction method.
This document discusses advanced concepts in plain, reinforced, and prestressed concrete. It begins by defining concrete as a mixture of cement, sand, and aggregate bound by water. While concrete has good compressive strength, it is weak in tension. Reinforced concrete overcomes this by adding steel bars for tension resistance.

Grouting various techniques of grouting.pptxUmarSaba1
Grouting involves injecting a slurry or liquid into soil or rock to fill voids and fractures. There are three main modes of grouting: permeation where grout freely flows into voids, compaction where grout remains intact and exerts pressure, and hydraulic fracturing where grout rapidly penetrates fractured zones. Common grout materials include suspensions of cement and water, emulsions of asphalt and water, and chemical solutions. Important grout properties include viscosity, setting time, strength, stability, and toxicity. Common grouting methods are permeation, compaction, jet, and soil fracture grouting. Grouting is used for applications such as seepage control, soil stabilization, vibration control,
Crack width measurement & Cracks In Concrete.pptxUmarSaba1
Cracks in concrete structures can be either structural or non-structural. Structural cracks endanger safety while non-structural cracks are mainly caused by internal stresses and do not impact safety directly. The main causes of non-structural cracks are moisture changes, thermal movement, elastic deformation, creep, chemical reactions, foundation movement, and growth of vegetation. Moisture changes cause concrete and masonry materials to expand when wet and contract when dry. Thermal movement results from the expansion and contraction of materials with temperature changes. Elastic deformation and creep cause slow deformation over time under sustained loads. Chemical reactions can cause expansion and weakening of materials. Foundation settlement and vegetation roots can also apply stresses leading to cracks.
Crack In Concrete & Crack width measurement.pptxUmarSaba1

Methods for evaluating cracks, selecting repair procedures, and repair methods such as epoxy injection, routing and sealing, reinforcing, and cement grouting are also summarized.
This document provides an overview of expansive soils, including their mineral composition, interaction with water, and identification and treatment. Key points include:
- Expansive soils like clay can swell up to 30% when absorbing water due to their small particle size and large surface area.
- Important clay minerals include kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite, which differ in their layered crystal structure and water absorption properties.
- Identification methods include tests of free swell percentage, differential free swell, and swelling pressure.
- Treatment options are soil replacement, moisture barriers, soil stabilization techniques like lime or cement addition, and specialized foundation designs isolated from swelling soils.

Immediate and time-dependent losses cause the prestress in tendons to decrease over time. Immediate losses occur when prestress is transferred to the concrete and include elastic shortening, wedge draw-in, friction, and member deformation. These can account for around 10% loss of jacking force. Time-dependent losses gradually reduce prestress further over the life of the structure, through mechanisms like creep, shrinkage, and relaxation. By the end of a structure's design life, total losses may reach around 25% of the initial jacking force. Friction in post-tensioning also causes losses along the length of the tendon.

This document summarizes key concepts related to shear stresses and flexural design in prestressed concrete beams.
It discusses how prestressing increases the shear resistance of concrete sections by providing compression. The design ultimate shear resistance is calculated for both uncracked and cracked sections using equations that consider factors like prestressing steel stress and effective depth.
A three-case design procedure is outlined for providing shear reinforcement if needed. The document also covers flexural design basics like assuming a triangular stress distribution, calculating resistance moment using prestressing steel properties and depth parameters, and working through examples to determine moment capacity.
This document discusses the analysis of singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam sections. It begins by defining singly reinforced sections as having tension reinforcement only, while doubly reinforced sections have reinforcement in both tension and compression zones. Design steps are provided for both section types, including calculating loads, moments, reinforcement areas, and shear reinforcement. Formulas and assumptions used in the design process are also outlined. The goal is for students to learn to properly design reinforced concrete beam sections based on given structural loads and material properties.
This document discusses the analysis of singly and doubly reinforced concrete beam sections. It provides definitions and design approaches for singly reinforced, doubly reinforced, and flanged beam sections. The key steps in the design process are outlined, including calculating loads and moments, checking for section type, sizing tension and compression reinforcement, and designing shear reinforcement. Design examples are provided for a singly reinforced and a doubly reinforced concrete beam according to BS 8110 design code standards.
The document provides information on the bisection method and Newton-Raphson method for finding roots of equations. The bisection method involves repeatedly bisecting the interval between two values where the function changes sign to zero in on a root. The Newton-Raphson method estimates successive approximations of a root by taking the tangent line of the function at the current point. An example applies the bisection method to find the depth a floating ball is submerged.
The document discusses procurement planning for World Bank projects. It explains that procurement planning involves identifying procurement needs, deciding on contracting strategies, considering technical and supply factors, packaging of items, and choosing procurement procedures. The planning process also includes developing a procurement schedule that assesses lead times, administrative requirements, and contract performance to determine critical paths. The resulting procurement plan is an important tool that serves as an execution guide for procurement and a basis for reviews and audits.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days
2. Foundations are required primarily to carry the dead and imposed loads due to the structure’s
floors, beams, walls, columns, etc., and transmit and distribute the loads safely to the ground.
The purpose of distributing the load is to avoid the safe bearing capacity of the soil being
exceeded otherwise excessive settlement of the structure may occur.
FOUNDATION TYPES
There are many types of foundations that are commonly used, namely strip, pad and raft. The
foundations may bear directly on the ground or be supported on piles.
The choice of foundation type will largely depend upon (1) ground conditions (i.e. strength and
type of soil) and (2) type of structure (i.e. layout and level of loading).
3. Pad footings
• Pad footings are usually square or rectangular slabs and used to support a single column (Fig.).
The pad may be constructed using mass concrete or reinforced concrete depending on the relative
size of the loading.
4. Continuous strip footings
• Continuous strip footings are used to support loadbearing walls or under a line of closely spaced
columns (Fig. 3.71). Strip footings are designed as pad footings in the transverse direction and in the
longitudinal direction as an inverted continuous beam subject to the ground bearing pressure.
5. Raft foundation
• Where the ground conditions are relatively poor, a raft foundation may be necessary in order to
distribute the loads from the walls and columns over a large area. In its simplest form, this may
consist of a flat slab, possibly strengthened by upstand or downstand beams for the more heavily
loaded structures
7. • A 400 mm square column carries a dead load (Gk) of 1050 kN and
imposed load (Qk) of 300 kN. The safe bearing capacity of the soil is
170 kNm−2. Design a square pad footing to resist the loads assuming
the following material strengths:
8. PLAN AREA OF BASE
Loading
Dead load
Assume a footing weight of 130 kN
Total dead load (Gk) = 1050 + 130 = 1180 kN
Serviceability load
Design axial load (N) = 1.0Gk + 1.0Qk = 1.0 × 1180 + 1.0 × 300 = 1480 kN
9. Self-weight of footing
Assume the overall depth of footing (h) = 600 mm
Self weight of footing = area × h × density of concrete
= 9 × 0.6 × 24 = 129.6 kN < assumed (130 kN)
BENDING REINFORCEMENT
Design moment, M
Total ultimate load (W) = 1.4Gk + 1.6Qk = 1.4 x 1050 + 1.6 x 300 = 1950 kN
10. Ultimate moment
Effective depth
Base to be cast against blinding, hence cover (c) to reinforcement = 50 mm . Assume 20 mm diameter (Φ)
bars will be needed as bending reinforcement in both directions.
Hence, average effective depth of reinforcement, d, is = h − c − Φ = 600 − 50 − 20 = 530 mm
Ultimate moment
Mu = 0.156 fcu b d2 = 0.156 × 35 × 103 × 5302
= 1534 × 106 Nmm = 1534 kNm
Since Mu > M no compression reinforcement is required.
11. Hence from Table 3.22, provide H20 at 300 mm centres (As = 1050 mm2/m) distributed uniformly across the
full width of the footing parallel to the x–x and y–y axis (see clause 3.11.3.2, BS 8110).
