Slab and Footing Load Distribution Analysis

This document discusses slab load distribution and footing design for a combined footing. It calculates the total load, required footing area, center of gravity, and eccentricity. It then checks the allowable bearing capacity considering soil conditions. It also calculates values for a scenario where land is unavailable for the full footing length, and checks column capacities. The key results are: the required footing area is 190 sqft, the eccentricity is 0.37ft, and the allowable bearing capacity is greater than the calculated capacity of 2.2 ksf given in the soil report.

So, From soil test report In which layer the bearing capacity is 2.2 ksf,
The depth of the footing will be there.
