WALL FOOTING

DL= 145 kN/m

LL= 110 kN/m

NGL

0.55m
0.8m 1 m strip

0.25m

1.2 m

Given:
DL= 145 kN/m
LL= 110 kN/m
H T= 0.80 m
W= 1.20 m
L= 1 m strip
qallow= 240 kPa
γconc.= 23.6 kN/m3
γsoil= 20.4 kN/m3
wthk.= 0.25 m
Fthk.= 0.25 m
f'c= 21 MPa
fy= 420 MPa

a.) Check the adequacy of the footing with respect to soil pressure.
Consider 1m strip length of wall
PDL= ( 145 )(1m strip) = 145 kN
PLL= ( 110 )(1m strip) = 110 kN

Considering Unfactored Load:

PU= PDL + PLL
PU= 145 + 110
PU= 255 kN

PU 255
qnet= = = 212.50 kN/m2
Area (1.2 x 1)
qgross= qnet + γconc(Fthk) + γsoil(Sthk)
qgross= 212.5 + 23.6(0.25) + 20.4(0.55m)
qgross= 229.62 kPa

qgross qallow
<
229.62 240
:. Footing is safe with respect to soil pressure
b.) Check the adequacy of the footing with respect to shear requirements. Consider 12mm diameter reinforcements:

NGL

0.55m 0.475 0.25 0.475

0.8m 1 m strip

0.25m d= 169mm

Reinforcement diameter: 1.20 m

ø= 12 mm WU (Induced reactions)
PU 350
WU= = = 291.667 kPa
Considering Factored Loads: Area (1.2 x 1)
PU= 1.2PDL + 1.6PLL
PU= 1.2(145) + 1.6(110)
PU= 350 kN

d= Fthk - C.C. - ø/2

d= 250 - 75 - 6
d= 169 mm

Actual one-way shear: Allowable shear:

V U= WU (L'-d) øVc= ø(1/6)λ√f'cbwd
V U= 291.667 (0.475 - 0.169) øVc= 0.75 (1/6) (1) √21 (1000) (169)
V U= 89.250 kN øVc= 96.807 kN

V U= øVc=
<
89.250 96.807
:. Safe for shear

c.) Determine the spacing of 12mm diameter main reinforcement:

Critical Bending moment:
WUL2 291.667(0.475^2)
M U= = = 32.904 kNm

MU 32904000
Rn= = = 1.280 MPa

øbd

0.85f'c 2Rn
ρ= [1-√1- ] = 0.003166
fy 0.85f'c

A S= ρbwd
A S= 0.003166(1000)(169)
A S= 535.05 mm2

For One-way slab: Area minimum

AS min= 0.0020 Ag for fy < 420MPa
AS min= 0.0018Ag for fy = 420MPa
0.0018Ag(420)
Larger AS min=
fy for fy > 420MPa
of:
AS min= 0.0014Ag
 For Beam: Area minimum
√f'cbwd
AS min=
4fy
Larger
of:
b wd
AS min=
fy
double check As,min
Since Wall footing acts like one-way slab, adopt the A S, min for one-way slab:
Since:
fy = 420 MPa = 0.0018
AS min= 0.0018Ag < 0.0020
AS min= 0.0018(1000)(250) > 0.0018

AS min= 450 mm 420 0.0014
0.0018
AS/bar 113
S= =
AS/m 535.054

S= 211 say 200mm O.C.

d.) Determine the number of pieces of 12mm diameter temparature bar and shrinkage reinforcement.
For temperature bars, used As, min. (one-way slab)
AS min= 0.0018Ag
AS min= 0.0018(1200)(250)
AS min= 540 mm2

AS/m 540
# bars= =
AS/bar 113

# bars= 4.78 say 5 pcs -12mm diameter for temperature bars
