REINFORCED CONCRETE II EXERCISE

a) Considering elastic deformation of soil, calculate the soil

stresses in the points A, B and C for the given flexible
foundation.
b) Considering the foundation to be rigid, re-calculate the soil
stresses at the same points (A, B, C) and compare them with
stresses obtained for the flexible foundation in step (a).
c) Considering the minimum reinforcement requirements
calculate the required reinforcement for the spread footing
and show selected reinforcements by drawing a scheme.
d) Calculate the top point (D) lateral displacement of the
column occurring due to the rotation in flexible foundation.
