Design of Shallow Foundation (Isolated Footings)






Back calculation in excel file-





















Shear force in the two-way shaded area= [(3.6X3.6)-(0.85X0.85)] X 154.321 = 1888.503 ~ 1889 KN
Design shear stress at two way cut face τv= (1889X1000)/(3400X450) = 1.234 N/mm^2
Shear stress capacity of section as per IS-456:2000 Clause 31.6.3.1


Design shear stress is less than shear capacity.
Hence okay.
Result:-
Sloped isolated footing for a square column has been designed with the given specification
Calculation of stepped footing
Critical distance of One-way shear from column face = 450mm
Critical distance of Two-way shear from column face = 225mm
We have to provide 500mm footing thickness at least 450mm from column face, rounding it off to 500mm uniform around the column, as shown below.

Conclusion:-
Thus the required spread footing is designed and detailed as per given inputs. All the required limit state criteria are verified and found to OK.
