I am designing a group of isolated foundations under columns where the central columns have a Ultimate Load of 1600 kN where the soil bearing pressure is 150 kN/m2. My isolated footing size is 3.2 m x 3.2 m but I heard from another engineer that if you connect isolated footings with strap beams...
I designed the structure of a two-storey residential building with 4.5 meter spanning columns under 250mm thick flat slab.During the design of the foundations these were the conditions:
- Soil Conditions NOT KNOWN but assuming medium soft clay with a loadbearing capacity of 150 kN/m2
-...
