Design of footings Decoding Eurocode 7（设计的立足点解码Eurocode 7）.pdf

Chapter 10 Design of footings The design of footings is covered by Section 6 of Eurocode 7 Part 1, ‘Spread foundations’, whose contents are as follows: §6.1 General (2 paragraphs) §6.2 Limit states (1) §6.3 Actions and design situations (3) §6.4 Design and construction considerations (6) §6.5 Ultimate limit state design (32) §6.6 Serviceability limit state design (30) §6.7 Foundations on rock; additional design considerations (3) §6.8 Structural design of foundations (6) §6.9 Preparation of the subsoil (2) Section 6 of EN 1997-1 applies to pad, strip, and raft foundations and some provisions may be applied to deep foundations, such as caissons. [EN 1997-1 §6.1(1)P and (2)] 10.1 Ground investigation for footings Annex B.3 of Eurocode 7 Part 2 provides outline guidance on the depth of investigation points for spread foundations, as illustrated in Figure 133. (See Chapter 4 for guidance on the spacing of investigation points.) The recommended minimum depth of investigation, za, for spread foundations supporting high-rise structures and civil engineering projects is the greater of: z ≥3b and z ≥ 6m a F a w h e r e b i s t h e F foundation’s breadth. For raft foundations: z ≥1.5b a B where b is the breadth of B the raft. The depth za may be Figure 133. Recommended depth of investigation reduced to 2m if the for spread foundations 312 Decoding Eurocode 7 foundation is built on competent strata† with ‘distinct’ (i.e. known) geology. With ‘indistinct’ geology, at least one borehole should go to at least 5m. If bedrock is encountered, it becomes the reference level for za.
