  2. Foundations and framed construction Chris Gorse and Ian Dickinson These slides should be read in conjunction with Emmitt, S. and Gorse, C. (2010) Barry’s Advanced Construction of Buildings. Oxford, Blackwell Publishing

  3. Pad foundations Foundation under a portal frame Ground beams – carry the wall loads to the pad foundations b. Pad foundations – used under the point loads of the framed construction

  4. Continuous reinforced concrete raft foundation Pile caps Ground beams carry the wall loads to the pile caps Raft foundation – thickening where point loads occur Edge beams may be used to increase stiffness and rigidity Clusters of pile foundations c. Pile foundations – transfers the load to lower more stable ground . c. Raft foundations – spreads the load over greater surface area Pile and Raft

  5. Discussion • Discuss the various situations where beam and pad, pile and beam and raft foundations would be used under a frame building. Consider the following in your discussion: • Ground condition • Size of building • Building loads
