Analysis of Differently Shaped Footing for A Midrise Structure Considering Lateral Forces Using SAFE Software

Authors(2) :-Vijay Singh Dasoondi, Rahul Sathbhaiya

In this study, comparative analysis was done on three different footing namely Single Footing, Combined Footing and MAT or Raft Footing with similar loading conditions. This included comparative study of their structural behaviour considering for building frame G+5. A comparison in analysis results was done on certain important parameters such as deflection, support reaction, axial force, torsion and Shear force. The cost analysis was conducted in this experimental investigation as per S.O.R, The investigation was fragmented towards introducing the different types of foundations along with their related advantages and disadvantages. The objectives included the comparative analysis on the defined three footings on the parameters as discussed before and results were scripted on Microsoft excel generated from the analytical program SAFE which was used for the structure analysis. The results in the analysis stated Isolated footing distributes maximum Axial force comparatively to other conditions whereas Raft Foundation shows minimum. It was clearly visible that best support reaction was generated in isolated footing comparatively to other footings. As support reaction showcased its intensity to distribute load to the soil hence for this distribution isolated footing was considered best and suitable. Bending moment was observed minimum in Isolated foundation which results in minimum reinforcement requirement. As quantity estimation was done and rate was analysed as per S.O.R it was concluded that Isolated footing results in economical type of footing for same conditions whereas Combined Footing is costlier in comparison.
