Minimum DepthSquare & Rectangular Footings
CE 4321: Geotechnical Engineering Design
Minimum Depth-Continuous Footings
CE 4321: Geotechnical Engineering Design
Other Considerations; Minimum DepthDepth to competent soilDepth of frost penetration (Figure 8.15)Presence of expansive soilsPotential for scourPossibility of a shallow landslide
CE 4321: Geotechnical Engineering Design
Considerations; Maximum DepthPotential undermining existing foundations, utility lines etc.Desire to avoid ground water tableDesire to avoid the need for excavation shoring
CE 4321: Geotechnical Engineering Design
Allowable Bearing Pressure MethodAllowable bearing pressure, qa is the largest bearing pressure that satisfies both bearing capacity and settlement criteria.Select depth of embedment, DDetermine the allowable bearing pressure based on bearing capacity analysis using the smallest applied load
CE 4321: Geotechnical Engineering Design
Allowable Bearing Pressure MethodDetermine the allowable bearing pressure based on settlement analysis using the largest applied loadSelect qa as the lower value of the two allowable bearing pressures.

Example 8.1A site for a new parking garage; an urban re-development projectColumn loads range from 250k to 900k a = 1.0 inches and Da = 0.6 inchesSite was occupied with old commercial buildingsOld buildings were demolished and their basements backfilled with SW, sandy silt, silty sands
