Week 5 Challenge

Aim:- Calculate loads manually acting on pier foundation and design as per IRC 6,78 and 112, difference between free and fix pier and how it impacts the foundation size Also add the calculation of loading in both the cases AndDetailing of the foundation reinforcement And List all RCC design checks to be done in the ultimate state and serviceability state for a cracked section as per IRC codes and mention clauses.
