Design of foundation

Design codes
BS 8110, Structural use of concrete, Part 1, Code of practice for design
and construction
BS 6399, Part 2, 1997, Loading for buildings, code of practice for wind
loads
Design load combination.
1.2 Dead load + 1.2 super imposed dead load + 1.2 wind load.
Modulus of subgrade reaction = 36000 kN/m3
Analysis and design
The analysis and design of foundation had been done in SAFE 2014.
Dimensions:
Length = 7750 mm
Breadth = 7000 mm
Depth = 1000 mm
Analysis Results
