Foundation system: concrete grade beams with caissons Grade beams are to support the double concrete walls seen on page "08 primary..." Caissons are to support concentrated loads and point loads such as a wide flange column or a wall of a small length.
Soil bearing Capacity: UNKNOWN
For preliminary sizing, 1/3 of building height=caisson depth=(1/3)(50)= 17' deep
Caisson depth 17'
Caisson minimum diameter 36"
Slab over grade beams 8" thick
