Different Types of Bridge Foundation
Types of Bridge FoundationTwo Major Types –• Shallow Foundation
• Deep Foundation
Shallow Foundation – Open Foundation:• When top soil strata is strong / Rock level close to ground level• For River Bridges when flow velocity is less, i.e. less scour• Required excavation depth is less
Deep Foundation – Pile / Well Foundation:• When firm strata / Rock level is much below ground level• For River Bridges when discharge is high, i.e. more scouring of bed• Load on the structure is too high to be carried by top soil layers• When foundation to resist uplift forces
Types of Bridge FoundationShallow Foundation:When, D/B ≤ 1 (Where, D = Depth of foundation & B = Width of Foundation)
Deep Foundation:When, D/B ≥ 4

Selection of Foundation Type
Selection of FoundationSelection Criteria –• Location of Structure – Land (Flyover, ROB etc.), River / Sea, Hills• If on River / Sea – Scour Depth• Geological Conditions• Seismic Zone• Type of structure – Continuous / Simply Supported• If on River / Canal – Possibility of dry river bed / canal closure• Cost of any temporary work (like cofferdam, stream diversion etc.) if required• Available equipment and technology
Most Economic Design, when cost of Superstructure = cost of Substructure and Foundation

Design – Open FoundationStudy of Sub-soil investigation report & calculation of “Safe Bearing Capacity”
Open Foundation Resting on Soil:• Bearing capacity from shear strength criteria• Bearing capacity from maximum allowable settlement criteria
Open Foundation Resting on Rock:• Bearing capacity from crushing strength of rock & fissures / bedding planes• Settlement is generally neglected as no long term settlement
Design – Open FoundationSome important points to remember –
• For foundations resting on Soil – No Tension in Base Pressure is Allowed
• For foundations resting on Rock – Tension is allowed and need to be re-distributed to check the final base pressure (Area out of contact ≤ 20%)
• Allowable base pressure may be Increased in Seismic Cases
• In case of excavation in rock the foundation trenches around the footing shall be filled up with lean concrete.
• The founding level shall be at least 2.0m (for soil) / 1.5m (for soft rock) below the scour level.
• If the proposed foundation is close to any existing bridge / structure, the founding depth should be ≥ the existing foundation depth.
• The theoretical settlement calculation governs over the shear strength criteria to determine allowable bearing pressure.
• The allowable total settlement is 50mm-75mm, but depends on structural requirement also.
• If the foundation is resting on soil, differential settlement of supports need to be considered.

Design – Pile FoundationStudy of Sub-soil investigation report & calculation of “Allowable Pile Load”
Pile Foundation Resting on Soil:• Ultimate Pile Load = Skin Friction + End Bearing• Uplift Capacity = Skin Friction + Self Weight of Pile• Lateral Capacity = Force required for 5mm deflection at cut-off level / scour level• Factor of Safety – 2.5 for vertical load, 2.0 for uplift and 1.0 for lateral loads
Pile Foundation Resting on Rock:• Ultimate Pile Load = End Bearing + Side Socket Shear• Uplift Capacity = Side Socket Shear + Self Weight of Pile• Factor of Safety – For vertical load 3.0 on End Bearing & 6.0 on Socket Side resistance; For uplift 2.0
Design – Pile FoundationSome important points to remember –• For pile groups, settlement need to be checked and to be restricted to 10-12mm.• In pile group minimum pile spacing = 2.5 x pile dia. (End Bearing Pile)
= 3.0 x pile dia. (Friction Pile)• Negative skin friction shall be taken in account if any compressible layer is present• Theoretical pile capacity need to be verified by Initial (destructive test) load test and Routine (non-destructive test) load test.• Allowable pile load may be increased in seismic cases• Piles need to be designed for a shift of 75mm and tilt of 1 in 150• In case piles resting on rock, differential settlement may be neglected• Minimum thickness of pile cap is greater of 0.6m or 1.5 times diameter of pile• Minimum projection of pile inside pile cap is 50mm
Design – Pile Foundation
Pile and Pile cap forces can be analyzed by mathematical modeling in STAAD / any other recognized software.
• Soil stiffness is represented by spring supports to estimate soil – structure interaction.
• No need to calculate depth of fixity, the forces are directly available from the analysis.

Design – Pile FoundationStructural Design by Truss Model:• No need of Shear Reinforcement• 80% of calculated steel to be concentrated in strips linking the pile heads and the remainder uniformly distributed over pile cap.
Design – Pile Foundation
• Piles are designed as compression member along with bending moments.
• Minimum longitudinal steel in pile ≥ 0.4% of gross concrete area
• Transverse steel can be Circular Tie / Spiral Reinforcement
• In high seismic zone Plastic Hinge detailing is required at junction of pile cap and piles
• The test piles need to be designed separately as they do not carry the axial and lateral load together.

Well Foundation Resting on Rock:• Bearing capacity from crushing strength of rock & fissures / bedding planes• Settlement is generally neglected as no long term settlement
Design – Well FoundationSome important points to remember –• Skin friction is neglected in Safe Bearing Capacity calculation.• In soil no tension in base pressure is allowed. In rocks out of contact area up to 20% of gross area is allowed.• In rocks rock anchor may be provided to overcome tension.• For Well foundation in soil a minimum grip length of 1/3rd the maximum depth of scour below the design scour level is need to be provided.• For Well Foundation in rocks a sump (shear key) of 300mm in hard rock and 600mm in soft rock need to be provided for stability.• Minimum inside diameter of well should not be less than 2.0m for dredging of soil inside.• If the external diameter of a single circular well exceeds 12.0m, then the stresses in steining shall be evaluated by 3D FEM method. • The Steining Section is usually designed as Plain Cement Concrete section, but can be done as RCC also.
