DESIGN DATA:
Due to Class A Loading
Vertical Load on the footing : 8800 kN
Horizontal Load at 1.06m height : 5800 kN
Moment due to horizontal load : 5800 x 1.06
: 5916 kN-m
(Assuming effective eccentricity of the hori load acts at 1.06m from the footing base)
2
Safe Bearing Capacity available : 600 kN/m
Size of the Footing : 10.2 x4.5 m

I) Check for pressure below the Footing:

Assumed self-weight of the Footing = 10%

Maximum pressure = 1.1x8800 + 6x5916
10.2 x 4.5 10.2x 4.5x 4.5
2
= 382 kN/m
2
< 600kN/m
Hence O.k
Therefore 7.5x7.5 m footing size is Safe
Minimum pressure = 1.1x8800 - 6x5916
10.2 x 4.5 10.2x 4.5x 4.5
2
= 38 kN/m
2
> 0kN/m
No tension exists.
