What Type of Foundation for Coastal Building (Seaside)?
(OP)
Hi,
I have to design a villa, 3-storey with 12m x 10m dimension, near the sea, in an Arabian Gulf country. I just want to know what type of foundation is suitable and what other measures, concerns etc should be taken for this type of residential building foundation design. I don't think pad footing would be safe?
Any help would be very much appreciated :)
NB: I'm working with Eurocodes

No there aren't any requirement in particular. 200m away from the beach, 1500mm below we find 500mm thick rock layer. The soil type near the beach is 'dense silty sand'. Very hard soil. Only excavators can do excavation!
