Isolated footing with axial load and moment

Design Input
Grade of concrete - 35
Grade of steel - 460
Allowable soil pressure 200 KN/m
2
Column load 1260 KN(D.L+L.L)
Moment 100 kN.m
Condition about overburden of soil - No
L&T-GES
Design procedure
Arrive footing size
Total load=wt of footing+column load
Average soil pressure q= total load / footing area
Allowable soil pressure > Average soil pressure
Then footing are is ok



Checking the footing area
By ACI 318
L&T-GES
Finding factored loads
Factored column load=1.4xdead load+1.7xlive load

Average factored soil pressure q
net
=Factored column load/footing area

Check for One way shear
Take the critical section as d distance from the
face of the column (as per ACI 318 )
1.find pressure at critical section
2.find V

Check for Two way shear

Take the critical section as d/2 distance all around
the face of the column (as per ACI 318 )
1. find pressure at critical section
2. Find the value of b
