Abstract:
Foundations ,being the most critical and crucial part, serves as an interface between two completely different materials ,one being a material is combined form and serves as one body reinforced concrete ,or other one to support it is in particular form soil. Our basis aim is to increase our understanding of interaction between a foundation and the soil, thus become able to not blindly follow the results of tests or analysis. In our project we dealt with both types of foundations. (a) Shallow foundations Spread footing Strip footing Combined footing Mat footing (b) Deep Foundations Drilled Shafts Automated excel sheet is prepared which gives structural design of spread footing for axial load and biaxial moments and also for purely axial loading or with uniaxial moments. Also automated excel workbooks for generating a design chart; a chart based on geotechnical data gives the footing size corresponding to applied load and required settlement. Design of drilled shafts for both vertical and horizontal loading conditions using three Softwares in conjunction Oasys pile, Alp and AdSec.
