Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Factors considered during the design of a foundation
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The foundation system is determined by type and size of the building, the sub-surface water, and soil conditions. The factors considered for the design of a foundation are the shape and size of the building, design load, site conditions, climate, wind, presence of water, and potential earthquakes. Building codes heavily influence the design process as they set several guidelines for the type of foundation to be used.

In a floor of an industrial building, boilers are supported symmetrically on secondary
beams A and B, which have a centre-to-centre distance of 5 m and which are in turn
supported by the main beam, which has a span of 9 m (see Fig. 10.62). Design the
main beam given the following data:
