This document contains design calculations for the bottom raft of a structure. It includes dimensions of the raft and surrounding elements. It also contains calculations for net upward pressure, bending moments, required steel reinforcement on the top and bottom of the raft, longitudinal steel, and a check for floatation to ensure the raft is safe against uplift.

DESIGN CALCULATIONS FOR BOTTOM RAFT
Bottom of raft @ E.L = 215.4 m
F.G.L = 218 m Water table @ E.L = 218 m Upward pressure = 26 kN/M^2 Thk of Raft = 600 mm clear cover for raft = 75 self wtof slab = 15 kN/M^2 Net upward Pressure (p) = 11 kN/M^2 Length of Raft = 18 m Width of Raft = 5.6 m Projection length = 0.5 m W.T from Top of raft(H2) = 3.2 m Wall thk = 0.3 m slab thk = 0 m W1(wt of wall+slab)/m = 24 kN/M W2( retained soil) = 28.8 kN/M gsat of soil = 21 kN/M^2 Ka = 0.333 Pa = 69.955 kN/M B.M at edge of cantlvr = 113.49 kNm
Net unbalanced force = -26.4
B.M at center of span = 139.36 scbc = 8.5 sst = 150 m = 10.98 k = 0.3836 j = 0.8721 Ast top = 2029 bar dia = 20 spg = 154.83 Astprovided on Top = 20TOR @154 Ast bottom = 1652.4 bar dia = 20 spg = 190.13 Astprovided on bottom = 20TOR @190
Longitudinal steel = 0.1571 distribution steel as per IS3370
(combined 2faces) Minimum dist steel = 0.12 As per IS 456 Area of steel = 720 bar dia = 10 spg = 109.08 Astprovided in = 10TOR @109 longitudinal Direction
Check for Floatation:
Uplift on Bottom of Slab: = 26 KN/m2 Base dimension of raft: L = 18 m B = 5.6 m Thk = 0.6 m Rl of wall top = 218.3 m Heigth of wall above raft top = 2.3 m a)Total upward floatation force: = 2620.8 KN B= 5.6 X 0.5 b) Calculation of downward force:
i) Weight of wall = 814.2 kN 7.2
ii) Weight of raft = 2116.8 KN iii) Weight of roof = 0 KN 2931 KN b
