Foundation

(OP)
Juvenile,

I am really do not know the thickness and current condition. I can find out later. The shear strength of the soil is about 1.5 to 2.0 ksf. The foundations were constructed back in 1969.

Please advise further.

Golam.

RE: Foundation

You need to verify that the new loads combined with any of the existing loads to remain will not overstress the soil and that the footing itself will not fail, such as in flexure or shear.

In the future you should keep your replies in the same thread as your first post instead of starting a new thread for every reply.

RE: Foundation

Golam - you don't need to start a new thread as UcfSE says.  Just scroll down and see a Message box - type your new entry there and it will stay in the initial thread.
