Rigid Footing Moment Capacity Design Based on ASCE 41-17 & ACI 318-19

DESIGN CRITERIA
1. Soil resists compression only, without tension capacity. Soil bearing pressure
distribution is a plane, and a triangular distribution block when un-full area
compression under the footing.
2. The input P, Mx, & My are net loads on the footing bottom face, which the location
(X1 & Y1) is directly from top building analysis and not has to be at the centroid of
footing bottom section.
3. This general methodology cannot apply to Dynamic Analysis (ASCE 7-22 12.9)
and higher level seismic design, because all CQC results are probability results
without P, Mx, & My load directions.

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

ALLOWABLE SOIL PRESSURE Qa = 5 ksf, (239 kPa)
DIMENSIONS X1 = 3 ft, (0.9m)
X2 = 12 ft, (3.7m)
X3 = 9 ft, (2.7m)
Y1 = 3.5 ft, (1.1m)
Y2 = 9 ft, (2.7m) THE FOOTING DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
Y3 = 7 ft, (2.1m)
LOADS P= 8 kips, (36 kN), ASD The Maximum Soil Pressure:
My = 88 ft-kips, (119 kN-m), rotation about the Y axis Pmax = 4.523 ksf, (217 kPa)
Mx = 20 ft-kips, (27 kN-m), rotation about the X axis at Point 1 Corner.

ANALYSIS
CHECK THE CENTER OF GRAVITY WITHIN FOOTING
XCG = X1 + My / P = 14.00 ft YCG = Y1 - Mx / P = 1.00 ft A = 154.50 ft2
> 0 > 0 (full footing area)
