Foundation Design: Bearing Capacity and Settlement Calculations

16 October 0
Foundation Design: Bearing Capacity and Settlement Calculations The foundation is arguably the most critical part of any building as it transfers the building load onto the soil. Therefore, proper foundation design requires an understanding and computation of both the bearing capacity and settlement that would occur. In this section, we shall detail these two crucial aspects, including example …

How to design for Retaining Wall: Stability and Reinforcement Calculations

13 October 0
Retaining Wall Design: Stability and Reinforcement Calculations A retaining wall can be defined as a structural element that is used to hold up soils, especially in sloping areas. Its design would have to account for stability, and safety reasons, with regard to these forces. Here, we go through the calculations most relevant to designing a stable and reinforced retaining wall that would resist s…
