8.3 Footings
In accordance with industry standards, a geotechnical engineer from Arcos should undertake
the testing within the footings to confirm that the encountered material is in alignment with
the adopted parameters and assumptions provided within this report. Where this does not
occur, Arcos cannot be held liable for any of the information presented within this report.

All footings will need to be designed to accommodate potential ground surface movement,
settlement values and any additional settlement values associated with the placement of new
fill.

Settlement for suitably sized and designed high level footings should be in the order of 1-2%
of the width of the footing.

If footings are located adjacent to an underground service or other obstruction that is not
homogenous with the founding strata, the footing should be extended a minimum 0.3 m
below an imaginary line projected at a 45 degree angle from the lowest point of the
service/obstruction. This is depicted graphically for reference:




Where footings found into medium dense (or stronger) sands, they may be dimensioned for
a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 100 kPa. Based on the borelogs, the above material
is encountered at approximately 9 m depth below existing surface levels at the time of the
investigation.
