Design a rectangular footing to support a 500mm square tied interior column.

The
column carries an unfactored axial dead load of 1090kN and an axial live load of 890kN.
The base of the footing is 1.20m below the final grade and the allowable soil pressure is
240 kPa. Use f’c=30MPa, fy=415MPa, unit weight of soil is 15.7 kN/m3. Use initial
thickness of 600mm (increment of 100mm in case of failure). Use 25mm rebar for
reinforcement. Assume L=1.5W. Present a complete detailed drawing of the footing.
