Geotechnical Parameters: Influencing Foundation Design

The studio primarily focuses on the foundation design of an overhead water tank with different load conditions on different types of soil. Hence, the type of foundation depends on the amount of pressure exerted on the soil. Various tests are performed on site to collect the samples and then in the laboratory to understand the type of soil, index properties and shear properties of soil. Ultimately foundation is highly dependent on these properties and hence designing a foundation needs a calculative and analytical study. The portfolio begins with the various conceptual terms and then ultimately dives into the foundation design.
