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 τvτv= (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.
