1- Design of square Isolated Footing

Design a square column footing to support a 500 mm square tied column that carries a dead load of
970 kN and live load of 820 kN. The base of the footing is 1.8 m below the natural grade where the
allowable soil pressure is (220+N) kPa. The soil above the footing weighs 15.6kN/m3. Assume fy = 275
MPa, fc’=27.5 MPa, concrete weighs 23.5 kN/m3, initial footing depth 750 mm.
