DESIGNING OF FOOTINGS
Sample Problem:

A column 450 mm square with f'c = 27.5 Mpa, provided by 8 - 25mm dowels, supports a dead load of 1000 kN and a live load of 780 kN. The allowable soil pressure qo = 250 kPa. Design a square footing with f'c = 27.5 Mpa and fy = 344 Mpa. Use 25mm reinforcement and draw footing details.
