Foundation Design Report for Salford Tower and Podium Structure

This report presents a foundation design scheme for a proposed tower and podium structure, addressing the geological and geotechnical considerations necessary for a stable foundation. The report begins with an introduction, objectives, and a detailed site description, including geological and topographical information. It then outlines the ground model, behavior, and soil properties, including analysis of soil properties. The proposed structure, including the podium and tower, is described with their respective load requirements. The design philosophy and proposals for foundation design, specifically deep pile foundations, are discussed, including calculations for single pile and pile group capacity, and settlement analysis. The report concludes with recommendations for the foundation design, considering the site-specific soil conditions and structural requirements. The assignment utilizes data from the provided data package, geological reports, boring logs, and site layout drawings. The report aims to provide a safe and effective foundation design, considering the structural loads, soil properties, and potential settlements.
