Lecture #10The Design of Mat Foundations- Compensated mats- Rigid mats- Semi-rigid mats A mat foundation is primarily shallow foundation. In essence, it is an expanded continuous footing and is usually analyzed in the same way.Mat foundations are sometimes referred to as raft foundations.Mat foundations are selected when:1. The area covered by the individual footings exceeds 50% of the structural plan area. This is usually the case for buildings higher than 10-stories, and/or on relatively weak soils where q < 3 ksf = 150 kPa;2. The building requires a deep basement, below the phreatic surface. For example, to build several levels of parking, for mechanical systems, access to subway stations, etc;3. The Engineer wishes to minimize the differential settlement in variable (that is, heterogeneous) soils, or if pockets of extremely weak soils are known to be present;4. The Engineer wishes to take full advantage of the soil’s increasing bearing capacity with depth by excavating basements, and thereby seek a fully or a partially compensated foundation. Problem Soils That May Necessitate the Use of Mat Foundations.1. Compressible soils, occur in highly organic soils including some glacial deposits and certain flood plain areas. Highly plastic clays in some glacial deposits and in coastal plains and offshore areas there can be significant amounts of compressible soils. Problems involved are excessive settlements, low bearing capacity, and low shear strength.2. Collapsing soils, settlement in loose sands and silts primarily. Densification occurs by the movement of grains to reduce the volume. Typically includes shallow subsidence. May occur in sandy coastal plain area, sandy glacial deposits, and alluvial deposits of intermountain regions of the western United States.3. Expansive soils, containing swelling clays, mainly Montmorillite, which increase in volume when absorbing water and shrink when loosing it. Climate is closely related to the severity of the problem. Semi-arid and semi-humid areas with swelling clays are the most severe because the soil moisture active zone has the greatest thickness under such conditions. Foundation supports should be placed below the active soil zone. Expansive soils are most prevalent on the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plain and in some areas of the central and western United States. Photograph of the construction of the mat foundation for the new Century Hotel in San Francisco (1999). Having had 25 feet of dredge spoils and excavated soil stored on its construction site may have saved Harvest States Cooperative up to a half million dollars in construction costs on its new Amber Milling facility in Houston, Texas. For about 20 years, the dredged material from nearby waterways and excavated soil from a neighboring project sat on the mill site. The material acted as a surcharge which compacted the soil to the point of allowing for mat foundations and shallow footings instead of more traditional pile foundations. Without the need for 60- to 80- foot piles, the shallow foundations also allowed construction without disturbing contaminated soils below. Most mat foundations employ a constant thickness ‘T’. This type of constant thickness is called a flat plate mat.A AA - A In most tall and large buildings, the mat thickness T varies with the load. Therefore, the Engineer may desire to separate the various sections of the structure.Mats have been used for centuries:Assyrians joined ceramic blocks with asphalt.Chinese joined large stones with keys of molten lead.Romans joined stones with hydraulic cements.Today, we exclusively use reinforced concrete. Many buildings are designed for multi-purposes, such as the one shown above, where a light structure is required for offices, versus heavier structural frames are required for the ware-house. The dilatation joint between them helps isolate the structures, but not the soil reactions. Therefore, a mat foundation may be a solution to minimize the coupled actions. When large column loads must be designed to prevent shear, other thickening designs are common. Below are some typical flat plates with thickening under the columns.

Design the steel lying in the East-West direction of the mat shown below with external dimensions of 42 feet by 74 feet.

Solution. Step 1. Find the total columnar load upon the mat. The area of the mat A = BL = (16.5 m)(21.5 m) = 355 m 2 .

The assumption of linear distribution is conservative for rigid mats, and yields satisfactory results. Many buildings are designed for multi-purposes, such as the one... 3,800) = 0.931 Example 1.
