Week 12 Challenge
Q-1 Design isolated footing for a column 300 mm x 450 mm, carrying axial load of 1500 kN and Mu = 150 kNm using STAAD. Foundation. Assume that the moment is reversible. The safe bearing capacity of the soil is 200 kN/m2 at a depth of 1 metre from ground level. Use M 25 and Fe 415 for the footing. Also validate the design through hand calculation.

Entering Design Parameters
Job Setup allows usto create a new job or edit an existing job. It is only when you create a New Job (a set of constraints for the program to use in performing a foundation design) that groups related to the current design process will appear.
Isolated Footing Job is created in the Main Navigator pane. This group allows us to enter design parameters like footing geometry, concrete cover, soil parameters etc.
Performing an Isolated Footing Design:
1. select the Isolated Footing Job > Design Parameters > Design in Main Navigator pane.A warning dialog opens to confirm you want to proceed with the design.
2.Click Yes.
Once the process is complete, the program will automatically display a Design Summary

RESULT : It is concluded that isolated footing is designed with given inputs and validated the staad.foundation design through hand calculation. Design summary is as follows-
Dimension of footing:
1) 3 mx 3 m
2) Over all depth of footing D = 650 mm
3) Depth of footing is checked for BM, Single shear & Double shear and found safe
4) No tension steel is needed as there is no negative pressure.
5) Development length = 648 mm
VALIDATION OF DESIGN THROUGH HAND CALCULATION
Footing should be symmetric with respect to column as the moment is reversible( `M_x & M_y` are same ,that is square footing is to be designed.
Service load = 1500KN
Considering Self weight of footing & weight of backfill soil = 10% of service load
P = 1.1x 1500= 1650 KN
`P_u`= 1.5x1650KN = 2475 KN
Area required = 1.1`P /(SBC)` = 1.1x1500/200 = 8.25 sqm`
`A_(cal)= 8.25 m^2`
Therefore L=B=`sqrt(A) = sqrt(8.25)= 2.87 m`
`provide square footing of size 3.0 m x 3.0 m
`A_(provided)= 9 m^2` > Area required which is 8.25 sqm (OK)
STEP-2 : NET UPWARD SOIL PRESSURE
`sigma(max, min)=P_d/A_(provided)+M_u/Z`
= (1.5x 1.1x1500/9) `pm`( 1.5x150/`(BxxL^2//6)` ( B=L=3 M)
= 275`pm`50
`sigma(max)`= 325 KN/ sqm < 370 KN/sqm ( Gross factored Bearing capacity) ( ok)
`sigma(min)`= 225 KN-m < 340 KN/sqm
Eccentricity e = M/P = 150/1500 = 0.1M = 100 mm
L/6= 3000/6 =500 mm
e < L/6 ,therefore no negative soil pressure will develop hence compression steel is not required.
STEP-3 DEPTH OF FOOTING ON THE BASIS OF B.M.
The maximum bending moment at the face of column (M)
= `P_0xx(B-b)^2//8` = `275xx3(3-0.3)^2//8`= 751.78 KNm
`M_u=0.138f_(ck)bd^2`
751.78`xx10^6` = 0.138x20x3000x`d^2`
d = 301 mm Say d = 305 mm
Adopt d = 600 mm due to shear consideration
Add effective cover = 50 mm
D = 650 mm
Depth of footing from one way shear-
d= `(P_u(L-a))/[2(P+tau_cxxL^2)]`
= 1.5X1.1X1500( 3-0.3)/2(1.5x1.1x1500+350x9)
= 6682.5/11250 =0.594 m = 594 mm < 600 ( OK)
Depth required for two way shear ( punching shear)
`P/L^2[L^2-(a+d)^2]= 4(a+d)d xxtau_p`
[`1.5x1.1x1500/9][(9-(0.3+0.6)^2]`= 4x0.9 x0.6`tau_p`
`tau_p`= 1043.98 KN/m^2 = 1.044 N/`mm^2`
Permissible `tau_p`= 0.25`sqrt(f_(ck)`
=0.25 `sqrt20`
= 0.25x4.472 = 1.118 N/`mm^2` > 1.044N/`mm^2` ( OK)
STEP-4: Reinforcement calculation
`A_(st) =(0.5f_(ck))/(f_y)[1-{1-(4.6xxM_u //f_ckBd^2)`
`A_(st)`= 5081 sqmm
p = `A_(st)/(Bxxd)xx100`
= (5081/3000x650)x100 = 0.26% > 0.12% which is min reqr , hence OK
`x_u/d =1.2-[1.44-(6.6M_u)/(f_(ck)xxbxxd^2)]^(1/2)`
`= 1.2 -[1.44-(6.6x751780x1000/20x3000x600x600)^0.5`
= 0.0998
Lever Arm Z = d(1-0.416`x_u/d)`
= 600( 1-0.416x0.0998)
= 575.089 mm
`A_(st) = M_u/(0.87xxf_yxxZ)`
= 751780X1000/0.87X415X575.089 = 3620.66 `mm^2`
STEP-5 : DEVELOPMENT LENGTH
As per IS 456: 2000,Cl 26.2.1.1
`sigma_s=415 N/(mm^2)`
`tau_(bd)`for deformed bar and M20 Grade of concrete = 1.92 N/`mm^2`
`L_d=(phixxsigma_A)/ (4tau_(bd)`
415`phi`/4x1.92 = 54`phi` = 54x12 = 648 mm for 12 mm dia bar
