Mini Project

The document outlines a mini project for 4th-year Civil Engineering students at Debre Tabor University, focusing on foundation engineering. Students are required to form groups and choose foundation types for specified columns, proportion their sizes, and design them for shear and flexural requirements. Additionally, they must analyze a bridge abutment scenario involving pile requirements and load considerations.

 Make a group of [4-6]
 Any engineering assumption is possible
 If any ambiguity, contact me please.
======================================================
1. The layout in the left side below is a part of multi-purpose building. By assuming as the
remaining part of the building has no effect on choosing types of foundations for the
columns below,
a. Choose a foundation type for each column and give explanation why you chose it
b. Proportion the size of the foundation for the foundation you have chosen in part a
c. Design your foundation for shear and flexural requirements.
All columns are 40cmx40cm Use C-25/30, S-400 and qall =280kpa
Group
Column A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3
Load (kN) 700 850 600 900 750 750 1
600 500 750 800 650 800 2
500 600 450 700 700 500 3
Moment kN-m Mx 140 70 90
My 80 60 120 110
2. The right side of the figure shows a bridge abutment. If the soil system is given as below
in the figure, and the coming loads via the piers are P= 2400 kN, and Mx=300 kN, My
=500 kN.
 Determine the number of piles required for the load with a Fs= 2.5
 Is there tension piles in the pile group?
 If six piles arranged in two rows are used, is the pile length is sufficient to withstand the
coming load?
