Foundation design of Building

The Studio Geotechnical Parameters: Influencing Foundation Systems examines soil properties and how they influence foundation system design. The studio started by creating mind maps to help us understand various geotechnical aspects. It was followed by a site visit at Khambhat where a borehole was dug and the samples were collected. The samples were tested in the laboratory and by making use of the data, the foundation design of a residential & commercial building was done corresponding to different loads. Suitable foundation systems such as Isolated, Raft and Pile were chosen for the structure. Soil improvement technique was also covered in the pedagogy.
