Wf/We Ratio Calculation for Foundations

The document provides specifications for a foundation that will support equipment weighing 288 KN. The foundation is 2750 mm long, 3500 mm wide, and 400 mm thick. It has 4 pedestals that are 450 mm wide, 3500 mm long, and 900 mm tall. The depth of excavation is 1000 mm. Based on the dimensions and densities of concrete and soil, the weight of each footing is 218.63 KN and the total weight of all footings is 874.51 KN. The ratio of the weight of the foundation to the weight of the equipment is 3.036493, which meets requirements.

Foundation Length = 2750 mm
Foundation Width = 3500 mm
Foundation Thickness = 400 mm
Width of Pedestal = 450 mm
Length of pedestal = 3500 mm
Height of pedestal = 900 mm
Depth of Excavation = 1000 mm
Density of Concrete = 25 KN/m3
Density of Soil = 18 KN/m3
No. of Footings = 4 Nos.

Weight of Pedestal = 35.4375 KN


Weight of Foundation Base = 96.25 KN
Weight of soil = 86.94 KN
Weight of one footing = 218.6275 KN
Weight of total no. of footings = 874.51 KN

Wt. of foundation/Wt. of = 3.036493 OK
