DATA
qa = 0.5 t/sft 1.12
fc ’ = 3 ksi
fy = 40 ksi

φ shear = 0.75
φ flexure = 0.9
Total No of Storeys = 2

Wall Thickness, t = 13.5 in

Wall height = 15 ft
=
W=total unfactored load on footing = 3.53 k/ft
Wu=total factored load on footing = 4.942 k/ft

10 % of total unfactored
load = 0.353 k/ft

Width of footing,B req = (W )/ qa, net

( 3.53+0.353 )
= / 1.12 = 3.47 ft/ft
B, provided = 3.50 ft/ft

qmax = W/B
= (3.53+0.353) / 3.5
= 1.11 k/sft
< qa, net = 1.12 k/sft (OK)

Design For Shear

h = 9 in
 wall thickness, t=

ft

ONE-WAY SHEAR

assume Vs = 0 no shear reinft:

φvVc = Lesser of
i- φ x 2 x bw x d x √ fc’
= 0.75 x 2 x 12 x 6 x √(3000)
= 5.915 kips for 1ft strip
Pu = Wu/B,provd
= 4.942/3.5
= 1.41 k/sft per ft width

Vu at distance 'd' from wall = Pu x ((B/2 - t/2)-d)

1.412 x (( 3.5/
2 - 13.5/ 24) -
= 6/12 )
= 0.97 kips for 1ft strip

φvVc > Vu = 0.97 Kips (OK)

Flexure Design

MINIMUM STEEL
ρmin = 0.002 for fy = 40 Ksi
As,min = ρmin x b x H
= 0.002 x 12 x 9

Smax = lesser of
i- 2H
= 2x9
= 18 in
ii- 18 in
= 18 in

MAIN REINFORCEMENT
Critcl Span=(B/2)-(t/24) = 1.1875 ft
Mu = Pu x (S)2/8
= 1.412 x 1.1875^2/8
= 0.25 K-FT for 1ft strip

R = Mu /φ b d2
= 0.25 x 12000 / 0.9 / 12 / 6^2
