RECTANGULAR ISOLATED FOOTING ANALYSIS

Footing description: the column at the center is loader with a column load and its moment is acting about the transverse o

Input Data:

Footing Data:

Footing Length, L 1.8 m

Footing Width, B 1.2 m
Footing Thickness, T 0.4 m
Column load, P 700 kN
Column Moment, M 270 KN-m
Base of the footing 1.25 m
Unit Weight of Concrete 24 kn/m3
Unit Weight of Soil 18 kn/m3

Determining the Equivalent Eccentricity of the Load

FORMULA:
e = M/P e = 0.385714 m

Calculating the maximum Soil Pressure under the footing

FORMULA:
q'max = (2P)/(3A(0.5-e/B)) q'max= 1209.877 kPa

Determining the required additional load on the column so that the whole base of the footing will be under pressure
FORMULA:
Paddt'l= (q'max(A)(B))-700 Paddt'l= 1913.333 kN
NG ANALYSIS
t is acting about the transverse of the footing base.

g will be under pressure

 RECTANGULAR ISOLATED FOOTING ANALYSIS
Footing description: the column is subjected to an axial load and a longitudinal moment, the bottom of footing is

Input Data:

Footing Data:

Footing Length, L 3m
Footing Width, B 2.5 m
Footing Thickness, T 0.7 m
Column load, P 1200 kN
Column Moment, M 360 KN-m
Base of the footing ,b 2.2 m
Unit Weight of Concrete 24 kn/m3
Unit Weight of Soil 18 kn/m3

Determining the maximum net soil pressure

FORMULA:
qmax = (P/A)(1+(6e/B) qmax = 275.20 kPa
e = M/P e= 0.3 m

Determining the minimum net soul pressure

FORMULA:
qmin = (P/A)(1-(6e/B) qmin= 44.80 kPa

Determining the minimum required gross allowable soil bearing capacity to carry the given loads
FORMULA:
q= qmin+ (ɣconc*T)-ɣsoil(b-T) q= 88.60 kPa
