what is the typical spacing of construction/expansion joints on mat foundation? is there any required detail for the joint?

how to compute allowable soil bearing capacity, if i have to consider settlement, example if i have a 50mm what is the allowable soil bearing capacity. i already have subgrade modulus reaction..

Thanks hokie, my only concern for the 900 is if it is already reinforced by the stirrups given, because one of my co-engineer told me if the one way shear fails, the only solution is to enlarge the footing. we dont have a mentor yet, and this is the first time we encounter this problem, so I...

I cant email the pdf file from my office computer to my cellphone, Im using my cellphone for internet. i just took photos, hope it will helphttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a165bc7d-e6df-4c47-b2d6-a72fa9979a29&file=20130401_125654.jpg

if i will use the 900mm width, the center column is in the center of the footing, but the one way shear will fail. staad foundation gave spacing if stirrups, thus the staad foundation already reinforced the one way shear failure. on the other hand, if i will adjust the width to 1200 for...

I will provide sketch later. thanks

thanks Ba. column would not be on center of 1200mm wide. SPMT Self Propelled Modular Transporter. Can one way shear be reinforced?

I designed combined footing with the used of Staad Foundation V8i ver 5.3. The size of the footing is 9.7 by 0.9 meter, depth is 0.45meter, I have to limit the width and the depth, because the footings were exposed. Having a larger width, the wheel of the SPMT will clash on the footing. The...
