Indian Standard

CODE OF PRACTICE FORDESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SHALLOW

FOUNDATIONS ON ROCKS

o. FOR E WaR })

0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standardson 30 April 1987, after the draft finalized by the Rock MechanicsSectional Committee had been approved by the Civil EngineeringDivision Council.

0.2 Shallow foundation cover such type of foundation in which loadtransfering is through direct bearing pressure of bearing strata and isnormally up to 3 m from natural ground level. Rock is usually recognisedas the best foundation material. However, design engineers should beaware of the dangers associated with hetrogeneity and unfavourable rockconditions since over stressing a rock foundation may result in largedifferential settlements or perhaps sudden failure. Therefore, a separatecode covering shallow foundation on rock has been formulated.

0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of thisstandard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express­ing the result of a test of analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance withIS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE1.1 This standard covers the design, construction and methods of estimat­ing the safe bearing pressures of rocks for shallow foundations based onstrength, allowable settlement and classification criteria.

2. TERMINOLOGY

2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions of terms given inIS : 2809-1972t and IS : 11358-1986t shall apply.

3. GENERAL

3. t The design of a foundation unit normally requires that both bearingcapacity and settlement are checked. While either bearing capacity orsettlement criteria may provide the limiting condition, it is normal forsettlement to govern. Structural distress from settlement as evidenced bysuch occurrences as cracking and distortion of doors and window frames)is common experience in hills,

3.2 The calculation of bearing capacity, the distribution of stresses, andthe prediction of settlement and the choice of allowable load will dependon the following factors, which should be fully considered during design:

i) Occurrmces Dun11g Excavationa) Undulating rock surface below a level ground;b) Hetrogeneity of rock mass ( the bearing capacity may vary

up to 10 times in apparently the same rock mass because ofpresence of localized fracturesjshear zonesjclay gauge/clayweatherlngjaltemate hard and soft beds, etc.

c) Solution and gas cavities;

d) Wetting, swelling and softening of shales/phyllite and expan­sive clays;

e) Bottom heave;f) Potential unstable conditions of the slope; and

g) High in situ horizontal stresses.ii) AdjaclntConstruction Activities

a) Blasting ( Controlled blasting techniques such as line drilling,cushion blasting and prespJitting are available if it is necess­ary to protect the integrity of the work just outside theexcavation );

b) Excavation: andc) Ground water lowering ( excepting in highly pervious sedi­

mentary rock, this phenomenon is rare in most of igneousand metamorphic rocks) j and

d) Undesirable seismic response of the foundation.jji) Oth" Effiets

a) Scour and erosion ( in case of abutments and piers );b) Frost action;c) Flooding ( only erodible rocks like sale and phyllite ); andd) Undesirable seismic response of the foundation.

IS I 12070 • 1987

3.3 The permissible settlement for calculation of safe bearing pressurefrom plate load test should be taken as 12 rom even for large loaded areas.The low value for settlement of foundation is due to hetrogeneity of rocks.In case of rigid structures like R.C.C. silos, the permissible settlementmay be increased judiciously, if required.

3.4 Where site is covered partly by rocks and partly by talus deposits orsoil, care should be taken to account for hetrogeneity in deformability ofsoil and rocks. It is recommended that plate load tests be conducted ontalus or soil and bearing pressure be recommended considering 12 mmsettlement, as is for rock.

4. APPLICABILITY OF METHODS FOR THE DETERMINATIONOF SAFE BEARING PRESSURE ON ROCK

f.J The methods proposed in this standard for the determination of thesafe bearing pressure on rock apply for various ranges of rock quality,guidance on the applicability of the proposed methods is outlined inTable 1.

5. ESTIMATES OF SAFE BEARING PRESSURES FROMCLASSIFICATION TABLES

5.1 Universally applicable values of safe bearing pressure cannot be given,Many factors influence the safe bearing pressure and it will frequently becontrolled by settlement criteria. Nevertheless, it is often useful to estimatethe safe bearing pressure for preliminary design on the basis of the classifi­cation although such values should be checked or treated with caution forfinal design.

5.2 The classification of rock mass for assessing safe bearing pressure islisted in Table 2.

5.:J Rock Ma•• RatiDI (RMR) -may also be used to give net allowablepressure as per Table 3. This wiJl ensure settlement of raft foundation upto 6 m thickness to be less than 12 rom.

5.3.1 The RMR for use in Table 3 should be the average within adepth below foundation level equal to the width of the foundation, provi­ded the RMR is fairly uniform within the depth. If the upper part of therock, within a depth of about one fourth of the width of foundation, is orlower quality the value of this part should be used or the inferior rockshould be removed. Since the values in Table 3 are based on limiting thesettlement, they should not be increased if the foundation is embeddedinto the rock. .

6. ESTIMATE OF SAFE BEARING PRESSURE FROM THE CORESTRENGTH

6.1 Where the rock is sound the strength of the foundation rock is gener­ally much in excess of the design requirements, provided the walls of thediscontinuities are closed and they are favourably oriented (see Fig. 1 )with respect to the applied forces. The investigations should, therefore, beconcentrated on:

i) The identification and mapping of all discontinuities in the rockmass within the zone ofinftuence of the foundation including thedetermination of the aperture ( opening ) of discontinuities;

ii) An evaluation of the mechanical properties of these discontinui­ties, frictional resistance, compressibility and strength of infillingmaterial ; and

iii) The identification and evaluation of the strength of the rockmaterial according to relevant Indian Standard.

6.2 In case of rock mass with favourable characteristics that is, rock sur­face is parallel to the base of the foundation, the load has no tangentialcomponent, the rock mass has no open discontinuities). The safe bearingpressure should be estimated from the equation:

where

q. safe bearing pressure ( gross ),qo == average uniaxial compressive strength of rock cores,NJ.m empirical coefficient depending on the spacing of discon­

tinuities ( see Table 4 and Fig. 1 )

3 + SIBf

= lOy'-'--l -+ 300878 '3 = thickness of discontinuities in em,

S = spacing of discontinuities in em) andBt == footing width in em,

NOTB 1 - Equation includes a factor of safety of 3.

The relationship given is valid for a rock mass with a spacing ofdiscontinuities greater than 0'3 m, aperture ( opening ) of discontinuitiesless than 10 mm ( 15 mm iffilled with soil or rock debris) and a founda­tion width of greater than 0·3 m,

7. DETERMINATION OF SAFE BEARING PRESSURE FROMPRESSURE METER TEST

7.1 Conditions are frequently encountered where the rock is of very lowstrength and has discontinuities at a very close spacing, or is weathered orfragmented. It is common practice in such cases to consider the rock as agrannular mass and to design the foundation on the basis of conventionalsoil mechanics.

7.2 The pressure meter allows for a direct determination of the strengthof a rock mass including the effect of discontinuities and weathering forthe design of foundations on poor rock. Using an approximate factor ofsafety of 3 the following equation shall be used:

qQS = ! [vDr + x, ( PL - .o, ) ]where

qns 1:1:: net safe bearing pressure ( tlm I ),

PL = limit pressure determined by the pressure meter ( t/m'

),v = unit weight of soil or rock ( t/m

Dr = depth of foundation ( m ).vDr -= overburden pressure ( t/mB ), and

8. DETERMINATION OF SAFE BEARING PRESSURE FROMPLATE LOAD TEST

8.1 Plate load test is still the most practical and proven test for recommen­ding bearing pressures inspite of many limitations.

8.2 It is recommended that plate load tests be conducted on poor rockswhere safe bearing pressure is suspected to be less than 100 tIm'. Afrequent mistake is committed in ignoring the fact that rock mass is veryhetrogeneous material as compared to soil. So a large number rof observa­tion pits be made at a rate of at least three per important rsucture andtests be conducted in the pit representing poorer rock qualitise, The finaltrimming arrack surface should be done according to IS : 7317-1974*.

8.3 Plate load test should be performed according to IS : 1888-1982t andsafe pressures be obtained for settlements of plate. For a given settlement offooting, the settlement of plate is obtained by using the followingformulae:

i) For massive or sound rocks ::- =- ~:

I-I·) F 1 - d k s, [ s; (Br + 30) J2or aminate or poor roc s S;- -= D,- X (Bp+ 30)-

where

Sp = settlement of plate (mm),Sf -= settlement of footing (mm),Bp == width of plate (em), andBt - width of footing (em).

From pressure-settlement curve, the safe bearing pressure is read forthe calculated settlement of the plate.

8.f It is recommended that three plate load tests on different sizes of platesbe conducted on the rock mass of same quality and the validity of equa­tions be checked when desired.

8.5 From the pressure-settlement curve, if failure point can be obtained,the footing may be checked in shear failure also.

9. OTHER FACTORS

9.1 For getting the allowable bearing pressure the safe bearing pressureobtained from the Table 2 or from 6, 7 or a should be multiplied with thecorrection factor(s) given below according to the geological conditions,These corrections are not applicable for the classification of RMR methodgiven in Table 5.

9.2 Allowances should be made for submerged conditions, cavities andslopes as given below:

i) Submerged Condition Under Water Tabl,

a) Rock with discontinuous joints with opening lessthan 1 rom wide ;

b) Rock with continuous joints with opening 1 to 5rom wide and filled with clay; and

c) Limestone/Dolomite deposit with major cavitiesfilled with soil

ii) Cavities

Major cavities inside limestone( core recovery less than 70 percent)

No'rR I - If the solution e avities can be converted into equivalentseams, equation given in 6.2 can be used consideriag SID, as ratio of thick­ness of all solution cavities to the drill hole depth; and

NOTE 2 - All rocks with solution f~at'lft-s are highly pervious, groundwate-r control iCJ essential where excavation below water level, If dewater­ing is impracricsble, under water concrete should be placed only in staticwater by carefully supervised techniques.

iii) SloPia) Fair orientation of continuous joints in the slope

b) Unfavourable orientation of continuous joints inslope

NOTE - Factor of safety of slope should be at least 1'20.

9.3 Safe bearing pressure should be recommended always less than thesafe uniaxial compressive strength of lean concrete levelling course of theindividual foundations, otherwise richer plain concrete layer should be laidto prepare smooth surface for laying R.O.C. foundations. Care should betaken to remove 10000ened pieces of rock from the foundation after blastingand washing and air jetting has been done so that foundation rests onpractically undisturbed rock mass.

Is I 120'0 • 1981

9.4 EfI'ect of Orientation of Joints OD Pre.sure Bulb - The orienta­tion of the continuous joints has a profound effect on the pressure bulb.It is seen that normal stresses are transmitted mainly in two directions,parallel to the joints and perpendicular to the major joints (see Fig. 2 ).When the major joints are gently sloping, the extent of the pressure bulbacross major joints is more than that along the joints. The converse istrue for steeply inclined major joints. The practical implications are seri­ous, for example, the elongated stress bulb may act as an imaginaryimpervious curtain below a concrete dam founded on stratified rocks.Further the rock mass rating will be reduced considerably in case ofunfavourably orientation of continuous joints. Accordingly the bearingpressure will also be reduced.

Due consideration should be given in selecting mini­mum size of footings.9.6 In case rock is available in small area of the raft, Inverted-T -beam ofraft foundation be allowed to rest on the rock and soil, as the confinementeffect of Tvbeams will improve the stiffness of soil, thereby reducing thehetrogcneity in deCormability of soil and rock.

9.7 In case of R C.C. strip foundation on hetrogeneous soil and rockdeposit, longitudinal reinforcement ( along wall) should also be providedto take care possible bending moments.

9.8 For similar reasons, circumferential reinforcement should be providedin ring foundation on hetrogeneous soil and rock deposit.

10. TREATMENT OF FOUNDATIONS

10.1 If at the time of actual excavation, major solution cavities have beenfound which have rendered the ground surface uneven, the depth of foun­dation should be taken to a level such that 80 percent rock area is avail­able. It must be ensured that the raft does not over hang at any corner.

10.2 Otherwise excavate the filled up soil up to 80 percent area level andbackfill it by lean concrete of required strength. However, the rock has tobe excavated up to the pre-selected foundation level.

10.3 If after excavation, loose pockets of talus deposit are found out at afew places, the same should be cleaned and backfilled with lean concrete.

10.4 If very deep observation pits have been made at the site, the sameshould be backfilled by lean concrete up to the foundation level.

10.5 Due attention should be paid to problems of foundation on herro­geneous rocks particularly foundations on rock slopes and neces aryremedial measures should be taken.

11. REPORTING OF RESULTS

These should include the following:

a) Geology of the site;b) Table giving unaxial compressive strength, RMR, various geolo-

gical parameters and unit weights;

c) Safe bearing pressure from various methods;

d) Correction factors;e) Recommended net allowable bearing pressure; andf) Recommended gross allowable bearing pressure.
