Mat Foundation

This document provides instructions for designing a ribbed mat foundation for column loads and summarizes the steps to: 1) Determine the location of the center of gravity of loads and calculate the actual contact pressure. 2) Design the thickness of the slab based on deflection and flexural requirements. 3) Analyze loads and calculate moments on panels and dividing the slab into sections for reinforcement design. 4) Determine design loads on supporting beams.
