DESIGN OF ISOLATED FOOTING

STEP-1:

Size of column =230 x 230mm

Safe load on footing

From column = 335.35 KN

335.35
Total working load on plinth = = 223.57 KN
1.5
F CK = 20 N/mm2

F y= 415 N/mm2

Safe bearing capacity of soil = 150 KN / m 2

Assume seif weight of footing is 10% of total load

10
I,e w f = x223.57 = 22.35 KN
100
Total load = 223.57+22.35 = 245.92 KN

Total load
Area of footing =

Side of footing =√ A =√ 1.63

=1.27 m ≈ 1.5 m

Factor load = 1.5 x 245.2

= 367.8 KN

STEP – 2

Critical section for maximum B.M lies at the base of the column ( from clause 3.4.2.3.2 of IS 456)

B.M at the base of the column = force x distance

Total force acting on the hatched area multiplied by distance between the C.G of force and face of
the column.

STEP – 3

DEPTH OF FOOTING

 Considering b = 1500 mm

B.M. = Q x b x d 2

49.43 x 106 = 2.76 x 1500 x d 2

d =109.27 mm ≅ 110 mm

But provide Effective depth of footing = 200 mm

Effective cover = 50mm

Overall depth = 200+50 =250mm

STEP-4

REINFORCEMENT

f ck × b ×d
A st × 415
49.43x106 =0.87 x 415 x A stx 200 x(1- )

A st = 720 mm2

STEP 5

CHECK FOR SHEAR ONE WAY SHEAR

The critical plane transfers shear lies at a distance of effective depth

 Total shear force in hatched area = upward pressure × hatched area

Nominal shear stress τv =

106.63× 103
=
1500 ×200
= 0.35 N/mm 2

785.3
Percentage of steel = X 100
1500 X 200
= 0.261 %

Design shear strength of the concrete (τc)

0.25 – 0.50

0.36 – 0.48

τc = 0.365

Permissible shear stress (kτc) depending upon the thickness of slab, grade of

concrete and % of A st

kτc = 1.1 X 0.365 = 0.40 N/mm2

τv < kτc

hence section is safe

STEP 6

CHECK FOR FOR DIAGONAL SHEAR / 2WAY SHEAR /PUNCHING

d
The critical plane lies at a distance of around face of column
2
Shear acting on the hatched area = q × (l2-(a+d)2)

= 163.443 ×(1.52-(0.23+0.2)2)

= 337.52 KN

Area resisting the diagonal shear force = 4×(a+d)×effective depth

= 4×(230+200)×200

= 344000 mm 2
 q(l 2− ( a+d )2 )
Nominal shear force τv =
4 (a+ d) d

337.52 X 103
= = 0.98 N/mm2
344000
Permissible shear stress Z p = ksτc

k s = 0.5+βc

230
βc = =1
230
k s = 0.5+1 = 1.5

τc = 0.25√ f ck = 0.25 × √ 20 = 1.12N/mm2

Z p = ksτc = 1.5×1.12 = 1.68N/mm2

Hence section is safe
