RC Raft Foundation (BS8110) - Part1

This document provides calculations for the design of a raft foundation according to BS8110: Part 1: 1997. Key details include: - The soil has an allowable bearing pressure of 100 kN/m2 and consists of two or more soil types. - The raft slab is 175mm thick with 25N/mm2 concrete and 10mm diameter mesh reinforcement at the top and bottom. - Parameters are defined for the soil, raft slab, and edge reinforcement design.

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
Depth of hardcore beneath slab; hhcoreslab = 100 mm; (Dispersal allowed for bearing pressure check)
Density of hardcore; hcore = 18.0 kN/m3
Basic assumed diameter of local depression; depbasic = 2500mm
Diameter under slab modified for hardcore; depslab = depbasic - hhcoreslab = 2400 mm

Raft slab definition


Max dimension/max dimension between joints; lmax = 3.000 m
Slab thickness; hslab = 175 mm
Concrete strength; fcu = 25 N/mm2
Poissons ratio of concrete;  = 0.2
Slab mesh reinforcement strength; fyslab = 500 N/mm2
Partial safety factor for steel reinforcement; s = 1.15
From C&CA document ‘Concrete ground floors’ Table 5
Minimum mesh required in top for shrinkage; A142;
Actual mesh provided in top; A393 (Asslabtop = 393 mm2/m)
Mesh provided in bottom; A393 (Asslabbtm = 393 mm2/m)
Top mesh bar diameter; slabtop = 10 mm
Bottom mesh bar diameter; slabbtm = 10 mm
Cover to top reinforcement; ctop = 20 mm
Cover to bottom reinforcement; cbtm = 35 mm
Average effective depth of top reinforcement; dtslabav = hslab - ctop - slabtop = 145 mm
Average effective depth of bottom reinforcement; dbslabav = hslab - cbtm - slabbtm = 130 mm
Overall average effective depth; dslabav = (dtslabav + dbslabav)/2 = 138 mm
Minimum effective depth of top reinforcement; dtslabmin = dtslabav - slabtop/2 = 140 mm
Minimum effective depth of bottom reinforcement; dbslabmin = dbslabav - slabbtm/2 = 125 mm

Slab edge reinforcement


Mesh provided in top; A252 (Asedgetop = 252 mm2/m)
