Design Step

1) Type Of Wall
 Centilever / Counterfort Wall / Spread footing
 Height ≤ 8m
2) Calculate Ultimate Bearing Capacity

2.1) Spesification
Depth of footing = 2.4m
Width of footing,B = 6m
Assume thickness of footing is 0.9m
q=18(1) + 1.4(20) = 46 kN/m2

5) Conclusion
i. Even this design is pass for safety checking,but the total load from structure not
exceed the Qall by soil but the settlement is greater than 50mm
ii. Need to redesign.Proposed to use deep foundation
