Design of Shallow Foundation (Isolated Footings)

aim: design the isolated footing

Design a square footing for a column size of 400x400. The compression axial load for the load combination of (1.5 DL + 1.5 LL) is 2000 KN. The safe soil bearing capacity is 150 KN/m2 at a depth of 2 meters below E.G.L. Participants are free to go for either tapered or stepped footing. Besides the total axial load, it also accounts for the self-weight of the footing and soil above it. Assume M25 concrete grade. Do the following checks
