Design of Combined - Strap Footings (16-18)
Combined footings:
Combined footings support
more than one column.
These types of footings are
used when two columns are so
close that isolated footing may
cause overlap of footings or
when one column is located at
or near a property line.

Design Steps for a Combined Footing
7. Draw the S.F and B.M diagrams and find out the amount
and position of maximum shear and bending moment
Considering the footing as an inverted beam subjected to
distributed load, draw the S.F and B.M diagrams. Column
loads may be considered as concentrated loads to simplify
the analysis.
8. Check the assumed depth of footing due to one way shear
by using the relation:
Vu
d1 =
2φλ√ fcʹ B

Solution:
Data:
Section of edge column I = 16 x 16 in.
Section of interior column II = 20 x 20 in.
D.L on column I = 180 kips, L.L on column I = 120 kips
D.L on column II = 250 kips, L.L on column II = 140 kips
unit weight of soil = γs = 100 lb/ft3
Distance from base of footing below final grade = H = 5 ft
Allowable soil pressure = qa = 5000 lb/ft2
fcʹ = 4000 psi ; fy = 60000 psi

P U1 = 408 K P U2 = 524 K
From the S.F.D, the max. shear is
319.16 k at the interior face of the 2ft 16 ft 4ft
col. II. At a distance d to the left of

this location, the value of shear (Vu) 42.38 k/ft
will be,
Vu = 319.16 – 42.38 x (31.5/12) 319.16 k

here,
qu = net upward soil pressure = 5.65 k/ft2
B = 7.5 ft, L = 22 ft, and c = 20 in. = 1.67 ft
Therefore, Mu = 0.5 x 5.65 x (7.5/2 – 1.67/2)2 x 22
= 0.5 x 5.65 x (2.915)2 x 22
= 528.10 k-ft
Ru = Mu / L d2
= 528.10 x 1000 x 12 / 22 x 12 x (31.5)2

Mu = 0.5 qu (B/2 – c/2)2

Ru = Mu / bd2
= 258.4 x 1000 x 12 / 5.5 x 12 (31.5)2
= 3100800 / 65488.5
= 47.35 psi
Now since, ρ = 0.85 (fc’ / fy) [1 – √1 – {2Ru / φ x 0.85 fc’}]
= 0.85 x 4/60 [1 – √1 – {2 x 47.35 / 0.9 x 0.85 x 4000}]
= 0.057 [1 – √1 – 0.03095 ]
= 0.057 [1 – 0.9844] = 0.057 x 0.0156
= 0.00089

and, As = ρbd
As = 0.00089 x (5.5 x 12) x 31.5

and, minimum amount of steel for shrinkage (Ash) is
Ash = 0.0018 bh {for fy = 60 ksi}
= 0.0018 x (5.5 x 12) x 36
= 4.27 in.2 > As hence use this area of steel
Now referring Table A.4,
Use 6 - #8 bars (As = 4.71 in.2) placed within the band width
of 5.5 ft under the exterior column I.
