Foundation Depth Determination   Consideration in Shallow Foundation Design




                     i.   Pad footing should not be constructed on fill ground.
 •  Must be deep enough to exclude undermining by flowing water


 •  Must be deep enough for stability

 •  Must be deep enough to avoid swelling and shrinkage effects due to water      Fill

 • Depth of shallow foundation practiced by JKR is 1.5m ≤ D ≤ 3.0m
                     iii.  Shallow foundation shall not be constructed on partially cut and fill ground






                                                                                     Notes:
                                            Fill                 Cut                 OGL : Original Ground Level
                                                                                     PL    : Platform Level



                     iv.  Shallow foundation is not advisable to be constructed near slope without stability
