procedure

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 metres below E.G.L. Participants are free to go for either a tapered or stepped footing. Besides the total axial load, also account for the self-weight of the footing and soil above it. Assume M25 concrete grade. Do the following checks:

  • If the gross bearing pressure under the footing is within safe bearing capacity
  • Provide sufficient depth and longitudinal steel for resisting bending and shear
  • Sufficient anchorage for column steel into the footing
  • If the bearing pressure at column-footing joint is within 0.45 times the maximum concrete compressive strength
  • step 1
  • the gross soil pressure under the footing is with in safe bearing capacity
  • unfactored load with surcharge + self weightof footing/allowable soil pressure
  • (2000/1.5x1.1)/150= 9.78m2
  • assume the square footing
  • square root of 9.78=3.12metre of sqare footing
  • consider 3.2 metre sided isolated
  • step2
  • net soil pressure and initial footing
  • factored load/actual area of footing
  • 2000x1000/(3.2x3.2)
  • Pn=195.3kn/m2
  • assume depth of footing 500m bearing stressof is 456-2000 in the table 34..4
  • footing base bearing area/loaded area<equal to 2
  • perrmissible bearing stress=0.45xfck
  • 11.25kn/mm2
  • perrmissible bearing stress with multilpe area factor =11.25x2=22.5n/mm2
  • actual bearing stress at column base
  • (2000x1000)/(400x400)=12.5n/mm2
  • 12.5actual stressat the rate of 22.5n/mm2
  • we can proced 500mm depth footing design checks
  • if weassume 500mm cover for foot effective depth(d) shall be taken as 450mm
  • flexual reinforcement calculation
  • conversion of net pressure of udl =195.3x3.2=625kn/m
  • bending momnet of udl at cantilever section= 625x1.6/2
  • M=800kn/m
  • reinforcement ass per is 4556-2000
  • Mu= 0.87fyAsd(1-Astfy/bdfk)
  • where fy =500 and Ast =4350mm2
  • provide16mm dia rebar at 125mm actual rebar=3200/125x201=5146mm2
  • one way shear at calculation
  • shear force in the one way shaded 0.95x 3.2x 195.3 =593.7kn
  • Design shear stress one way cut face
  • Tv= 593.7x1000/(3200x450)=0.412n/mm2
  • shear stress capacity of section as per is 456-2000 table 19 =0.425n/mm2
  • design shear stress is less than shaer capacity and hence its okay
  • the diagram of one way shear
  • two way shear calcculation
  • shear force= (3.2x3.2)-(0.85x0.85)x195.3=1859kn
  • design shear Tv=1859x1000/(3400x450)=1.215n/mm2
  • capacity of shear stress as per is 456-2000 =0.25xsqare rootof fck
  • 1.125n/mm2
  • design shear stress is less than shear capacity hence its ok
  • Provide a simple sketch showing the size of the footing, maximum and minimum depth of the section, flexural reinforcement in both directions and anchorage of column steel.
