Foundation notes:

F.1
The allowable net Soil bearing capacity is 200kN/m2 on the depth of footings (1.0 m).
F.2
There were no underground water table according to Soil Mechanics report.
F.3
Lowering of the water table level must be accomplished as the excavation proceeds. It is recommended that the
ground water level is maintained at least 0.50m below the center of excavation while it remains open restoring the
ground water table to its initial position should be made once the weight of structure exceeds hydrostatic uplift and once
condition as in note (F.1) is fulfilled.
F.4
No back fill shall be placed against retaining walls unless the walls are sufficiently braced to prevent
movement of structural damage.
F.5
All foundation and sub-structure concrete/block work to be protected by 1000G polythene and 2 coats of cold
bitumen, and as per contract specifications (submitted to the Engineer's for approval).
F.6
In case proposed foundation level is deeper than the adjacent structure foundations, the contractor should
consult the consultant to decide the depth of foundation. The foundation depth may vary according to the sites
condition.
