General Considerations for Foundation and Floor Design
Design of foundations and floors for structures is much more challenging when dealing with an expansive soil site than a nonexpansive soil site. This chapter discusses the alternative types of foundations and floors for expansive soils and methods for design of such. It also discusses the design of the various systems and various factors that need to be considered for expansive soil applications. The chapter addresses the quantification of risk associated with the design and construction on an expansive soil site. Soil treatment usually involves either moisture‐conditioning and recompacting the expansive soil or the use of chemical admixtures to reduce the expansion potential of the soil. The chapter describes the various aspects of the design alternatives, and shows their similarities and differences. The selection and application of technically effective and cost‐effective remedial measures are influenced by the differing interest groups.
