I recently came to know it 10 Feet. I do not have any evidence for this.
The Depth of the water surrounding the Golden Temple is about 55ft down......
Frost line depth is measured from grade (or lowest surface soil level pursuant to the foundation).
A shallow foundation is generally considered any foundation element that is 6 feet or less in depth. or the depth of foundation is equals to its width of the foundation. Examples are thickened edge slabs and grade beams that are supporting minimal weight.
It depends on your local building codes and the depth of the frost line in your area.
The frost line depth for Cheyenne, Wyoming is 36" for foundation.
The measurement is taken from the point above grade at which height the foundation will be at completion, taking into account the type of foundation material and the frost line, and the depth of the crawl space or basement, if any.
The foundation of the Washington Monument has a depth of 36 feet 10 inches. In the metric system, that is 11.2268 meters.
The average depth of the foundation for a reactor building in a 1000 MW Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) typically ranges from about 3 to 10 meters (10 to 33 feet). This depth can vary based on site-specific geological conditions, seismic considerations, and design requirements. Proper foundation depth is crucial for ensuring structural stability and safety in the event of seismic activity or other external forces.
Based on construction guidelines for a garage, the minimum depth of a below frost foundation is 3'11". That is the city of Oshawa guidelines.
To find the depth of your foundation, you may want to check any paperwork that you received when you purchased the home. You may also find the info in the blue prints available at city hall in the records. The minimum depth of foundations can be 0.45m, but it is commonly 1 meter. It very well could be deeper, depending on the builder.
Shape: The pressure bulb is typically depicted as a three-dimensional shape, often resembling an inverted cone or pyramid. It extends downwards from the base of the loaded area or foundation into the soil. Distribution: Within the pressure bulb, the pressure is not uniformly distributed. It is highest at the base of the loaded area and decreases with depth. The pressure distribution is influenced by factors such as the shape and size of the foundation, the load magnitude, and the properties of the soil. Depth: The depth of the pressure bulb varies depending on the characteristics of the foundation and the soil. Deeper foundations will have deeper pressure bulbs.
The pressure bulb of a foundation can influence the depth of soil investigation by affecting the stress distribution in the soil layers. A larger pressure bulb may result in increased stress in deeper soil layers, impacting their behavior and properties. This, in turn, may require deeper soil investigation to properly understand the soil's response to loading from the foundation.
