Re-Design Report of Zakho Museum
According to the plans and structural design details sent by engineer (Ismail
Aziz Ali), and as per his kind request, it was required to check the raft
foundation design for Zakho museum.
Loads considered:
1. Dead loads:
• Self-weight of the structural members.
• Slab service loads (finishing and partitions) = 4kN/m2
• Exterior Beams loads (Wall Load + cladding with Marble) = 20kN/m.
2. Live Loads: 4 kN/m2 for basement and Ground floor, and 1 kN/m2 for
Roof.
3. Seismic Loads: UBC97
• Seismic Zone Factor Z=0.3.,
• Soil profile Type (SD)
Materials Properties.
• Concrete Strength Fcu=37 MPa, (f’c=29.6 MPa).
• Steel Grade 60, fy= 420 MPa.
Foundation
• Raft thickness= 400mm., Clear cover = 50mm.
• Main Reinforcement (Asprov) Bottom= ∅16@20𝑐𝑚 + 𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 ∅16@20𝑐𝑚:
As total = 2010 mm2/m.
• Main Reinforcement (AsProv.) Top: = ∅12@20𝑐𝑚 + 𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 ∅12@20𝑐𝑚
As total = 1130 mm2/m.
Design Check:
The building was modeled with CSI ETABS V.20 software and then the loads
were exported to CSI SAFE software to design the Raft.
The summary points of the design are shown below:

Case-2 Design summary (Raft Thickness=50cm) (B.C =8 t/m2)
B.C of soil qall.= 8 t./m2
K = 40xFSxqall. = 40x30*80= 9,600 kN/m2/m
1. Punching shear check:
After modifying the design throughout increasing the thickness (50cm) and
60cm extension all around the building. The final results are shown in the
following figures:
The punching shear ratio under all columns < 1.0 which indicate that an
increase in thickness will satisfy the punching reinforcement and no
reinforcement cages are required.
