PRELIM QUIZ 1 SOLUTION

SITUATION 1: A square footing is supporting a 400kN and 500kN dead load and live load respectively on a 300mm square
column. The net effective pressure (qnet) of the soil is 150kPa. The strength of concrete, fc’, is 28 MPa.
1. Calculate the width of the footing, in meters. (round up answer to nearest TENTHS, 5points)
2. If B=2.80m, determine the effective depth required by beam shear, meters. (4 decimal places, 10 points)
3. If B=2.80m, determine the effective depth required by punching shear, meters. (4 decimal places, 10 points)

SITUATION 2: A rectangular footing 2.50m x 3.60m (BxL) supports a 0.40m square column carrying a dead load and live load
of 600kN and 650kN respectively. Use fc’=21MPa and fy=415MPa. Use 20mm diameter of bars.
4. If the thickness of footing, Dc, is 550mm determine the ultimate moment along the longitudinal direction, kN-m. (5
points)
5. If the thickness of footing, Dc, is 550mm determine the number of 20mm diameter bars to be reinforced along the
longitudinal direction. (10 points)
6. If the thickness of footing, Dc, is 650mm, determine the steel area, As, needed to reinforce the footing along the
transverse direction, mm2. (15 points)

BONUS QUESTION (5 points). Determine the development length of a 16mm bar whose fy=415 MPa and fc’=35MPa.
