As per IS:1904-1986, minimum depth of foundation shall be 0.50 m.

Other recommendations for footing adjacent to existing
structures
¾
Minimum horizontal distance between the foundations shall not
be less than the width of larger footing to avoid damage to
existing structure existing
structure
¾
If the distance is limited, the principal of 2H:1V distribution should be used so as to minimize the influence to old structure
¾
Proper care is needed during excavation phase of foundation
construction beyond merely depending on the 2H:1V criteria for
old foundations. Excavation may cause settlement to old foundation due to lateral bulging in the excavation and/or shear failure due to reduction in overburden stress in the surrounding of old foundation

analysis may be performed by
cutting it into pieces as beams and

Deep Cellular Raft:This involves raft slab with beams and
structural walls. Cross walls act as beam between the columns
with net loading from soil pressure minus the self weight of wall and slab section beneath. A simple elemental analysis may be performed as in the previous case. An arbitrary value of ±wL
2
/10
for positive and negative moment can give reasonable results.
