Design of Shallow Foundation (Isolated Footings)

Data are given:

  • Column size 400mmx400mm
  • Compression axial load for the load combination of (1.5 DL + 1.5 LL) is 2000 KN
  • Safe soil bearing capacity at a depth of 2 meters below E.G.L is 150 kN/m²
  • Assuming the self-weight of the footing and soil above it as a 10% load
  • Grade of concrete=25 kN/m²
  • Assuming fy=500 N/mm²

Here a sloped footing is designed.
