The Function of a Foundation
![Page 4: Lecture 5- Foundations- Excavations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5695d3dd1a28ab9b029f762c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Foundations
Foundation Engineering- Evaluating the ability to support a given structural load and designing the substructure or transition member needed to support the construction. To transfer the structural loads safely into the ground.
This means dealing with forces and soil pressures. The need for deep excavations.
![Page 5: Lecture 5- Foundations- Excavations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5695d3dd1a28ab9b029f762c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Foundations
• Spread Footings– Proper compaction under the footing
• Driven Piles– Types of piles
• Wood• Concrete• Steel• Composite
-Pile Drivers• Drop Hammer• Mechanical- Hydraulic, diesel, steam• Vibratory
• Caissons or Drilled Shafts• Cofferdams

Review Plans & Specifications
• Consistency with geotechnical report• Reduce confusion during construction• Without Differing Site Conditions clause contractor
responsible• Read the report in response to what is underground.
– Understand prescribed method, consistency with soils report • Site Investigations
– Environmental restrictions– Site conditions at each and every location
• The report has pertinent information- follow it.• Compaction testing
– Understanding moisture content– Proper proctor

Pile & Pile Driving
• Site Investigation– Type & weight of structure– Soil properties– Depth of stratum– Variations of stratum depth – Availability of piling type– Availability of pile driver– Availability of experience in driving pile
![Page 13: Lecture 5- Foundations- Excavations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5695d3dd1a28ab9b029f762c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pile & Pile Driving
(Site Investigation cont)– Comparative placement cost– EPA & OSHA regulations– Depth of excavation for placement of
equipment ie building footing– Location of piling ie river, lake, ocean– Noise & Vibration – Adjacent structures

Pile & Pile Driving
• Pile Caps & Grade Beams– Piles are clustered then caped
• Number of piles per cap are determined by the load bearing capacity of the soil.
• From the cap comes a column or bent.
• Piles can be connected by grade beams

Caisson or CofferdamWhat’s the difference?
• Caisson- Boring or drilling a hole and filling with concrete.
• Cofferdam- A temporary boxlike structure used to hold back water or earth while work is being done inside it.

Excavation Wall Bracing
No matter what restraining system is used to stabilize the sides of an excavation, the walls will have to be braced against lateral pressures exerted by the surrounding soil and water.
• Shoring for trenches (trench boxes)• Lateral forces surrounding the structure
– Slope back– Different shoring systems– Tiebacks (rock and earth)
![Page 24: Lecture 5- Foundations- Excavations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5695d3dd1a28ab9b029f762c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Protection of ExcavationsLateral Forces
Deep Excavations
• Slope Back- Usually 2:1, The angle of repose at which a soil material will stand without moving
• Interlocking Sheet Piling• Steel Soldier Piles- H beam with lagging
• Concrete Slurry walls-Shotcrete (pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a surface)
![Page 25: Lecture 5- Foundations- Excavations](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062410/5695d3dd1a28ab9b029f762c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Other piling terminology
Battered pile- A pile driven somewhat at an angle so as to resist horizontal forces.
Kelly bar- The equipment on the pile driver that determines the height of the pile to drive.

Terminology
In the industry terms can mean different things.
Toe- (1) Any protection from the base of a construction or object to give it increased bearing and stability. (2)That portion of sheeting below the excavated material. (3) To drive a nail at an oblique angle. (4) The junction between the base metal and the face of a filled weld. (5) The part of the base of a retaining wall that projects beyond the face away from the retained material.
