Q
- Main beam supports floor joists; floor joists support planks
- We don’t use this in the Philippines because of termite infestation and problem with DNR
- Soft wood – easily decays and infested with termites
- For ease of installation and less initial costs

5
Q
- Your ground floor should be higher than the road; when the natural grade level is low so you have to increase the height by putting in filling materials
- (Not as much reinforcement) There is not as much rebars for slab on grade or fill because the roads are thick enough to carry vibrating elements like vehicles; only rely on two: make it thick or if you want it thin, provide rebars to ensure it is sturdy enough to prevent it from cracking

A
Spread Footing
19
Q
- Spread out the bottommost part of the column
- Thickness depends on (punching) load; shorter side is carrying more bending stress than the longer side
A
Spread Footing
20
Q
When spread footing is provided to support an individual column, it is called “___” as shown.
A
isolated footing
21
Q
- A kind of footing where it is necessary for you to provide a strap beam
A
Strap Footing
22
Q
- It consists of two isolated footings connected with a structural strap or a lever. The strap connects the two footings such that they behave as one unit. The strap is designed as a rigid beam.
A
Strap Footing
23
Q
A ___ is more economical than a combined footing when the allowable soil pressure is relatively high and the distance between the columns is large.
A
strap footing
24
Q
● It is used when the two columns are so close to each other that their individual footings would overlap.
A
Combined Footing
25
also provided when the property line is so close to one column that a spread footing would be eccentrically loaded when kept entirely within the property line. By combining it with that of an interior column, the load is evenly distributed.
Combined Footing
26
A ___ may be rectangular or trapezoidal in plan. ___ is provided when the load on one of the columns is larger than the other column.
combined footing
Trapezoidal footing
27
* Three or more columns
* Follows the length and direction of the wall
* Useful if columns are very close to each other or if soil pressure is non-homogeneous
Strip/continuous Footing
28
* A ___ is provided for a load-bearing wall. A ___ is also provided for a row of columns which are so closely spaced that their spread footings overlap or nearly touch each other.
strip footing
29
In such a case, it is more economical to provide a ___ than to provide a number of spread footings in one line. A ___ is also known as continuous footing.
strip footing
30
* There is footing all throughout the construction
* Useful for areas with low soil pressure or non-homogeneous soil
Mat or Raft footings
31
* It is a large slab supporting a number of columns and walls under the entire structure or a large part of the structure. A ___ is required when the allowable soil pressure is low or where the columns and walls are so close that individual footings would overlap or nearly touch each other. ___ are useful in reducing the differential settlements on non-homogeneous soils or where there is a large variation in the loads on individual columns.
mat
Mat foundations
32
* There are many reasons that a geotechnical engineer would recommend a deep foundation over a shallow foundation, such as for a skyscraper. Some of the common reasons are very large design loads, a poor soil at shallow depth, or site constraints like property lines. There are different terms used to describe different types of deep foundations including the ___ (which is analogous to a pole), the ___ (which is analogous to a column), drilled shafts, and caissons.
pile
pier
33
* Common for soft soil; it will strengthen soil and make it dense
PILES/PIERS
34
* Classification of Piles on the basis of Load Transfer: pile dependent on high density soil
o End/Point Bearing Piles
35
* Classification of Piles on the basis of Load Transfer: dependent of friction

o Concrete Piles
o Composite Piles (combination of steel and concrete)
38
* Classification of Piles according to the Method of Installation of piles
o Driven Piles - hammered
o Bored Piles - drilled
39
Also called caissons, drilled shafts, drilled piers, Cast-in-drilled-hole piles (CIDH piles) or Cast-in-Situ piles. Rotary boring techniques allow larger diameter piles than any other piling method and permit pile construction through particularly dense or hard strata. Construction methods depend on the geology of the site; in particular, whether boring is to be undertaken in ‘dry’ ground conditions or through water-saturated strata – i.e. ‘wet boring’.
o Bored Piles
40
extensively used for earth retention and excavation support.
Sheet Piling
41
is an economic, in situ method of reinforcing and increasing the overall shear strength of unsupported or unstable soil/rock excavations or slopes. The technique involves the installation of closely spaced reinforcing bars (nails) in the face of the excavation or slope.
