A 2x2m square footing supports a 300 x 300mm column which carries the following

loads:
Axial loads: PD = 200kN; PL = 360 kN
Moment: ME = 20 kN-m; MD = 12kN-m; ML = 8 kN-m
Load factors: 1.2D +1.6L; 1.2D+1E+1L;
The allowable soil pressure is 240 kPa. The bottom of the footing is 1.5m below the
ground. Thickness of footing is 500mm and effective depth is 400mm. fc’=20.7 MPa, fy=
350MPa. Determine (a) nominal beam shear stress; (b) nominal punching shear stress;
(c) maximum design moment
