    CHAPTER 15 243 CHAPTER 15 — FOOTINGS CODE 15.1 — Scope 15.1.1 — Provisions of Chapter 15 shall apply for design of isolated footings and, where applicable, to ‘combined footings and mats. 15.1.2 — Additional requirements for design of com- bined footings and mats are given in 15.10. 15.2 — Loads and reactions 15.2.1 — Footings shall be proportioned to resist the factored loads and induced reactions, in accordance with the appropriate design requirements of this code and as provided in Chapter 15. 15.2.2 — Base area of footing or number and arrange- ment of piles shall be determined from untactored forces and moments transmitted by footing to soll or piles and permissible soll pressure or permissible pile capacity determined through principles of soil mechanics. 15.2.3 — For footings on piles, computations for ‘moments and shears shall be permitted to be based ‘on the assumption that the reaction from any pile is concentrated at pile center. COMMENTARY R1S.1 —Scope While the provisions of Chapter 15 apply to isolated foot- ings supporting a single column or wall, most of the provi- sions are generally applicable to combined footings and ‘mats supporting several columns or walls or a combination thereof? 52 15,2 — Loads and reactions Footings are required to be proportioned (© sustain the applied factored loads and induced reactions which include axial loads, moments, and shears that have to be resisted at the base of the footing oF ple cap. After the permissible soil pressure or the permissible pile capacity has been determined by principles of soil mechan- is and in accord with the general building code, the size of the base area ofa footing on soil or the number and arrange- iment of the piles should be established on the basis of tunfactored (service) loads such as D, ZL, W, and E in what ever combination that governs the design. Only the computed end moments that exist at the base of a column (or pedestal) need to be transferred to the footing; the minimum moment requirement for stendemess consid erations given in 10.12.3.2 need not be considered for trans- fer of forces and moments to footings. In cases in which eccentric loads or moments are to be con- sidered, the extreme soil pressure or pile reaction obtained from this loading should be within the permissible values. ‘Similarly, the resultant reactions due to service loads com- bined with moments, shears, or both, caused by wind or cearthquake loads should not exceed the increased values that may be permitted by the general building code. ‘To proportion a footing or pile cap for strength, the contact soil pressure or pile reaction due to the applied factored loading (see 8.1.1) should be determined. For a single con- centrically loaded spread footing, the soil reaction g, due to the factored loading is q, = U/Ay, where U is the factored concentric load to be resisted by the footing, and Ay is the base area of the footing as deter by the principles sated in 15.2.2 using the unfactored loads and the permissi- ble soil pressure. 4a is a calculated reaction to the factored loading used to produce the same required strength conditions regarding ACI 318 Building Code and Commentary 244 CHAPTER 15 CODE 15.3 — Footings supporting circular or regular polygon shaped columns or pedestals For location of critical sections for moment, shear, and development of reinforcement in footings, it shall be permitied to treat circular or regular polygon shaped concrete columns or pedestals as square members with the same area. 15.4 — Moment in footings 15.4.1 — External moment on any section of a footing shall be determined by passing a vertical plane through the footing, and computing the moment of the forces acting over entire area of footing on one side of that vertical plane. 15.4.2 — Maximum factored moment, M, for an iso- lated footing shall be computed as prescribed in 15.4.1 at critical sections located as follows: (@) At face of column, pedestal, or wall, for footings ‘supporting a concrete column, pedestal, or wall; (b) Hatfway between middle and edge of wall, for footings supporting a masonry wall; (©) Halfway between face of column and edge of steel base plate, for footings supporting a column with steel base plate. 18.4.3 — In one-way footings and two-way square footings, reinforcement shall be distributed uniformly across entire width of footing. 15.4.4 — In two-way rectangular footings, reinforce- ‘ment shall be distributed in accordance with 15.4.4.1 and 15.4.4.2, 15.4.4.1 — Reinforcement in long direction shall be distributed uniformly across entire width of footing. 15.4.4.2 — For reinforcement in short direction, a Portion of the total reinforcement, 7eAg, shall be dis tributed uniformly over a band width (centered on cen- COMMENTARY flexure, shear, and development of reinforcement in the footing or pile cap, as in any other member. In the case of eccentric loading, load factors may cause eccentricities and reactions that are different from those ‘obtained by unfactored loads.
