Raft Foundation Design (Bs8110: Part 1: 1997) : Sslabtop

This document provides specifications for designing a raft foundation according to BS8110 Part 1: 1997. It defines properties of the soil and raft slab, including allowable bearing pressure, soil types, slab thickness, concrete strength, reinforcement sizes and cover. It then provides an example design of the base slab, calculating the vertical loads, maximum moment, reinforcement ratio K, lever arm z, required area of steel As, and demonstrating the provided reinforcement is adequate.

Soil and raft definition


Soil definition
Allowable bearing pressure; qallow = 100.0 kN/m2
Number of types of soil forming sub-soil; Two or more types
Soil density; Firm to loose
Depth of hardcore beneath slab; hhcoreslab = 300 mm; (Dispersal allowed for bearing
pressure check)
Density of hardcore; hcore = 20.0 kN/m3
Basic assumed diameter of local depression; depbasic = 3500mm
Diameter under slab modified for hardcore; depslab = depbasic - hhcoreslab = 3200 mm
Raft slab definition
Max dimension/max dimension between joints; lmax = 10.000 m
Slab thickness; hslab = 400 mm
Concrete strength; fcu = 35 N/mm2
Poissons ratio of concrete; = 0.2
Slab mesh reinforcement strength; fyslab = 460 N/mm2
Partial safety factor for steel reinforcement; s = 1.15
Top bar diameter; slabtop = 12 mm
Bottom bar diameter; slabbtm = 12 mm
Cover to top reinforcement; ctop = 40 mm
Cover to bottom reinforcement; cbtm = 40 mm
Average effective depth of top reinforcement; dtslabav = hslab - ctop - slabtop = 348 mm
Average effective depth of bottom reinforcement; dbslabav = hslab - cbtm - slabbtm = 348 mm
Overall average effective depth; dslabav = (dtslabav + dbslabav)/2 = 348 mm

Base Slab Design (assuming 1000mm strip)


Vertical Load
Base slab = 24xd = 9.6 kN/m
Live Load = 68 kN/m
Safety Factored =2
Total Load = 155.2
Maximum Moment
M = 19.40 kNm
K = M/bdfcu
b = 1,000.00 mm
d = 376.00 mm
fcu = 35.00 N/mm
K = 0.004
K < K' = 0.156
No compression steel bar is required
z = dla
la = {0.5+(0.25-K/0.9)^}
= 0.95
z = 357.20 mm
As = M/0.87fyz mm/m
= 121.72 mm/m
As, min = 520.00 mm/m
Provide = T 12 - 175 c/c
= 646.27 mm/m > 520.00
