T
2、he word “foundation” may mean the earth itself, something placed in or on the earth to provide support, or a combinnation of the earth and the elements placed on it. The foundation for a multistory office building could be a combination for an earth-fill dam would be the natural soil or rock on whic
3、h the dam is placed. Concrete footings or which or in which they are placed. The installed elements and the natural soil or rock of the earth form a foundation system； the soil and rock provide the ultimate support of the system. Foundation that are installed may be either soil-bearing or rock beari
4、ng. The reactions of the soil or rock to the imposed loads generally determined how well the foundation system functions. In designing the installed portions, the designer must determine the safe pressue which can be used on the soil or rock and the amount of total settlement and differential settle
5、ment which the structure can withstand. The installed parts of the foundation system may be footings, mat foundations, slab foundations, and caissons or piles, all of which are used to transfer load from a supersteucture into the earth. These parts, which transmit load from the superstructure to the
6、 earth, are called the substructure. Footing Footing or spread foundations are used to spread the loads from columns or walls to the underlying soil or rock. Normally, footings are constructed of reinfored concrete. However, under some circumstances they may be constructed of plain concrete or mason
7、ary, when each footing supports only one column, it is square. Footings supporting two coumns are called combined footings and may be either rectangular or trapezoidal. Cantilever footings are used to building line or exterior wall. Footings supportsing walls are continuous footings. The sizes of fo
8、otings are determined by dividing the loads to be imposed at the base of the footings by the allowable bearing pressure which can be imposed on the soil or rock of the earth. Most building codes and textbooks on foundations contain tables listing allowable bearing pressures for various types of soil
9、 and rock； however , these tables give only general classifications and descriptions of the soil or rock must be used with caution. More specific information about the soil or rock is normally obtained by drilling test borings, extracting soil or rock samples, performing laboratory tests on the samp
10、les, and making engineering must be given to the amount of settlement which may occur and the capability of the structure to withstand such settement. If settlement is problem it may be necessary to use an alternate foundation type rather than footings or to enlarge the footings and decrease the bea
11、ring pressure. Grade beams may be used between exterior column footings to support walls, with the beams transferring the weight of the walls to the column footings. Beams are also used between interior column footings to act as braces or to support interior walls. Retaining walls are those walls su
12、bject to horizontal earth pressures due to the retention of earth behind them. The foundation for these will not slide when subjected to the horizontal earth pressure. In addition,retaining walls must be designed so they will not overturn. In frost-susceptible areas, footings must be placed below th
13、e frost line. Mat foundations Mat or raft foundations are large, thick, and usually heavily reinforced concrete mats which transfer loads from a number or colums and walls to the underlying soil or rock. Mats are also combined footings.,but are much larger than a footing uniform pressure to the unde
14、rlying soil or rock. Mats are rigid and will act as a bridge over discontinuities in the soil or rock on which they are founded. Mats founded several meters below the ground surface, when combined with external walls, are termed floating foundations. The weight of the soil excavated from the ground
15、surface to the bottom of the mat may be equal to approach the total weight of the structure. In this case, little or no new load is applied to the underlying supporting soil, and settlements of a structure may be minimal after construction. Slab foundations Slab foundations are used for light struct
16、ures wherein the columns and walls are supportes directly on the floor slab. The floor slab is thickened and more heavily reinforced at the places where the column and wall loads are imposed. Special problems Groundwater is a major problem in connection with the design and installation of foundation
17、s where a substructure is to be placed below the groundwater level. Well points, pumping from deep wells, or pumping from sumps are methods used to dewater construction sites during foundation installation. Other methods which are less often used are freezing of the water in the soul, removal of wat
18、er by electroosmosis, and the installation of cutoff walls made of pilling or grout around the periphery from within the excavation. If dewatering operations are perfromed in an area surrounded by existing structures, precautions must be taken to project them, as the lowering of the geoundwater may
19、cause the soil on which they are supported to subside. If a basement is partially or totally below the groundwater level, its walls must be designed to withstand the hydrostatic pressure of the water on the outside in addition to the pressure from the soil backfill. An alternate procedure is to inst
20、all a permanent system to remove watet outside the walls. Some substructure below groundwater level may at times be subjected to hydrostaic uplift forces which are greater than the downward forces imposed by the structures. In these cases, provisions must be to anchor the structures to prevent them from floating upward. Groundwater also causes problems by infiltrating though basement walls., slabs, and joints into
