Design a footing foundation system by determining the required footing sizes and embedment depths in accordance with the attached instructions. An example Excel spreadsheet has been provided for reference. Follow the instructions exclusivily to complete the design.
For this design, assume that the subsurface soil conditions at the project site are similar to those described in the SDSU Plaza Del Sol Geotechnical Report, since the proposed structure is located in close proximity to that project. Clearly state this assumption in the report.
Use the attached column layout and load calculation file to determine the loads imposed on the foundations. Use the geotechnical report to obtain the necessary soil parameters for foundation design.
All footings shall be square and assume the structure is a cast in place concrete parking garage decked structure.
Provide:
- Complete design calculations
- Required footing dimensions
- Required footing embedment depth
- Center-to-center spacing between footings
- All Excel spreadsheets used to perform the design calculations
Ensure the design is clear, organized, and fully documented.
Requirements:
