Design of Shallow Foundation (Isolated Footings)
Design of Shallow Foundation (Isolated Footings)
AIM:- To design a square footing for a column size of 400x400.
Also consider the following conditions such as;
- 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. (Tapered or stepped footing).
- M25 concrete grade.
Also 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.
