Pad Footing at Bio Reactors Tanks

Geometry of Pad footing at room is shown below:

500 THK

Pad Footing Plan View (750mm THK)

Minimum service base pressure from SAFE = 82 kPa

qall = 400 kPa from soil report


Therefore, O.K.
Pad Footing (Mu Moment Check)

Pad Footing Moment at X-Direction (ENV ULS)

Pad Footing Moment at Y-Direction (ENV ULS)


Pad Footing ( Reinforcement Check)

Bottom Reinforcement X & Y Dir.


Mesh Size = T16-200 = 1005 mm2/m
No additional Rebar is required.
Therefore OK

Bottom Reinforcement at X & Y Direction


Top Reinforcement X & Y Dir.
Mesh Size = T12-200 = 565 mm2/m
No additional Rebar is required.
Therefore OK

Top Reinforcement at X & Y Direction


Punching Shear Checks

Max. footing punching D/C ratio = 0.214


Thickness chosen to provide compression development length of dowels according to ACI Sec. 25.4.9.2
ldc = 0.043 * fy * 1.0 * db = 0.043 * 420 * 16 mm = 290 mm
h ≥ ldc + r + db,dwl + 2db,bars + clear cover bott.
h ≥ 290 + (6x16) + 16 + 2(16) + 50 = 484 mm, Use H = 500 mm. Therefore, O.K.
One-Way Shear Checks
