hello knowledgeable group. All the literature that I have found so far regarding matt foundation is for columns supporting slabs. I have a situation where there are no columns. We are re-designing a 1 way floor system 20+ stories, with walls (slab supported by walls). Openings for walls at the corridor, and interior units.
My question is how can I use what I've learned thus far (school, experience, and books) to design a matt foundation for this case.
For the situation of columns its relatively simple (supporting loads). do I break the wall up into infinitessimal elements and design it for 1' sections....
Any help would be appreciated.
Looking forward to your replies.
