Lecture 4: Design of isolated footing (N-M)

Isolated Footing subjected to (N-M)

 Moments affects the foundations
1. Permanent B.M like Dead loads and live loads.
2. Variable B.M like wind load and Earthquake loads.

Example (1)
Design an isolated footing to carry a column subjected to 1800 kN vertical loadand
300 kN.m permanent bending moment, the column dimensions are (40 x 90) cm.Draw a
sectional elevation and a plan with scale 1:50 showing all reinforcement details and levels.
Thickness of plain concrete (Pc) is 30 cm, Allowable net bearing qall  15 t / m 2 ,
Fcu  25 N / mm 2 , Fy  360 N / mm 2 .

1- Calculate the footing area (Width and Length of R.C footing):-

From Eqn 1,2
 B p.c  3.22 m
Use B p.c  3.25 m
L p.c  3.25  0.50  3.75 m
 BR.c  B p.c  2  t p.c  3.25  2  0.30  2.65 m
 LR.c  L p.c  2  t p.c  3.75  2  0.30  3.15 m
