    The document provides requirements for designing a mat foundation for a residential building. It includes a figure showing the layout of columns that will be supported by the mat foundation. The columns have varying dimensions and allowable loads that are specified on an accompanying plan. The mat foundation must be designed to have sufficient bearing capacity at 3.5 meters below the surface, given soil properties. The design should include calculations of required mat dimensions, shear and bending moment diagrams, reinforcement design, and scale drawings.

    Project # 1 – Mat Foundations

    For the foundation plan of a residential building shown on the next page. Design a mat
    foundation as indicated in Figure 1 below. Columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are 50
    cm x 50 cm and columns M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T and U are 50 cm x 60 cm in the directions
    shown. The column allowable loads are as shown on the plan. The footing is placed at 3.5
    meters below the surface.

    The soil properties are as follows: No water table is present

    c = 25 kPa, φ = 10°, bulk unit weight γ = 16 kN/m .
    Es = 23 MPa and µ = 0.3.
    Assumed qa = 100 kPa.

    Your design must include the following:


    a) Finding the least required dimensions that are safe for bearing capacity failure with F = 3.0.
    b) Plotting the shear and bending moment diagrams for all footings.
    c) Design the reinforcement for footings. Use fc' = 24 MPa and fy = 275 MPa.
    d) Draw final design sketches neatly and to scale.

    Note: Make any reasonable assumptions but indicate them.
