Caisson

This document provides design criteria and calculations for a caisson foundation and flagpole footing based on building codes. It includes input parameters, analysis, and checks for: 1) A caisson designed to transfer vertical and lateral loads into bedrock or suitable soil below unsatisfactory soil/water. Calculations check soil bearing capacity and caisson embedment length. 2) A flagpole footing designed to resist lateral loads from the pole. Calculations iterate to determine the minimum required footing diameter and depth to develop sufficient lateral soil bearing resistance. 3) Both foundation designs are checked against code requirements and found to be adequate for the given load conditions.

Caisson Design Based on 2018 IBC & 2016 CBC

DESIGN CRITERIA
1. The caisson is designed to rest on an underlying stratum of rock or satisfactory soil
and is used when unsatisfactory soil/water exists. If caisson bottom end not belled,
the caisson has to be drilled into hard stratum 3'-0' minimum.
2. All vertical/axial loads are supported by the bottom end hard stratum. The lateral
loads are supported by the embedded soil, Lembd, based on IBC/CBC Chapter 18.

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY


DIMENTION Lembd = 24 ft, (7.32 m)
Lcant = 10 ft, (3.05 m)
D= 48 in, (1219 mm)
