UNIT 5 LESSON 4

COMBINED FOOTING SUBJECTED TO BENDING

A rectangular combined footing carries the given loads

Exterior column: Interior column:
Size 300 x 300 mm Size 375 x 375mm
PDL = 268 kN PDL = 490 kN
PLL = 268 kN PLL = 400 kN
MDL = 27 kN.m MDL = 40.5 kN.m
MLL = 27 kN.m MLL = 40.5 kN.m

The total depth of the footing is 460mm with an effective depth of 376 mm. the
bottom of the footing is 1.8 meters below the final grade. Allowable soil pressure
is 96 kPa. Unit weight of soil is 15.7 kN/m3 and that concrete is 2400 kg/m3.
fc’ = 20.7 MPa, fy = 414.7 MPa. The face of the exterior column is located on the
property line. Distance between 2 columns, center to center is 4.6 m.
1. Which of the following gives the dimensions of the rectangular combined
footing?
2. Which of the following gives the shear stress (punching) at the critical
section near the exterior column?
3. Which of the following gives the number of 28 mm ø reinforcement
needed along the longitudinal section of the combined footing?

Solution:
1. Dimensions of the combined
footing
Effective soil pressure:
0.46(2400)(9.81)
qe = 96 – 1.34 (15.7) -
1000
qe = 64.13 kPa

Area required:
536+890
Lw =
64.13
Lw = 22.24 mm2
Locate the centroid of the footing:
1426x = 890 (4.6) + 536(0) + 27(2) + 40.5(2)
x = 2.96 m

L
= 2.96 + 0.15 L = 6.22 m

2. Punching stress at the exterior column:

Pu1 = 1.2 (268) + 1.6 (268) = 750.4 kN

Pu2 = 1.2 (490) + 1.6 (400) = 1228 kN

750.4+1228
Net upward soil pressure = = 83.85 kPa
(6.22)(3.58)
Vp = 750.4 – 83.85 (0.676) (0.488)
Vp = 722.74 kN

Vp
vp = bo = 488 (2) + 676 = 1652

722740
vp =
0.8 5 (1652 )(376)
vp = 1.37 MPa

3) No. of 28 mm ∅ reinforcement along the longitudinal section

Upward pressure along the length:
750.4+1 228
qu = qu = 318.07 kN/m
6.22
VA = 318.07 (0.30) – 750.4 = - 654.98 kN

VB = -654.98 + 318.07 (4.2625) = +700.79 kN

Vc = 700.79 + 318.07 (0.375) – 1228 = - 407.93 kN
VD = - 407.93 + (1.2825) (318.07) = 0
Shear is zero at max. moment
318.07y – 750.4 = 0
y = 2.35

654.98(2.35)
Max. M = Max M. = 769.60 kN.m
