Foundation Design on Rocks
Foundation Design on Rocks
(OP)
I am a soil mechanics engineer but need to design a pad foundation on rock near a slope.
I know rock classification but need to relate my classification results to foundation design parameters. Is there a straight forward methodology for practicing engineers. Thank you.

Try "tri-axial tests on rock cores"

Also it would be appreciated if on could help m with any minimum width of footings on rock foundations.
The minimum foundation width criteria is better understood for soil foundation but not much for rock.
