Problem 6.15
Design a square column footing to support a 450 mm square column. The column
carries a service dead load of 850 kN and service live load of 960 kN. Use the
following data: f’c = 23 MPa; fy = 275 MPa; unit weight soil γs = 17.5 kN/m3; unit
weight of concrete γc = 23.5 kN/m3; allowable soil pressure is 280 kPa; depth
footing Df = 1.60 m; main bar is 20 mm.
Problem 6.16
Design a footing from the following data:
Column size: 500 mm × 500 mm
Column loads: PD = 850 kN; PL = 750 kN
Depth of footing, Df = 1.50 m
Width of footing is limited to 1.80 m
Allowable soil pressure, qa = 320 kPa
Unit weights: γc =23.5 kN/m3; γs = 18 kN/m3
Steel yield strength, fy = 345 MPa
Main bar diameter = 20 mm
