Shallow Foundation Design Specifications

This document provides input data and calculations for designing the shallow foundation of a bridge. It includes the superstructure dimensions, material properties, soil bearing capacity, and applied loads. Calculations are shown for the total load, required bearing capacity, bearing pressure, moment, depth, reinforcement, and providing #6 bars at 11 inches for the main reinforcement and #4 bars at 6 inches for the longitudinal reinforcement.
