Footing Design Example

Design the rectangular footing shown

given the following:

Dead load = 500 kips (unfactored)

Live load = 400 kips (unfactored)
Seismic load (E) = 285 kips (service)
Soil weight = 110 pcf
Column size = 25” x 25”
qa = 6500 psf
footing width = 10 ft
f’c (column) = 5000 psi
f’c (footing) = 4000 psi

Solution:

Footing Dimensions:

*assuming thickness  1.5*(col width) = 1.5(25”) = 37.5”

Say h = 36”
qnet  qa  wtsoil  wt f ooting  6500 psf  110*1' 150*3'  5940 psf

Check two-way punching shear:

Assume d = 36” – 3” – 1” = 32”

b0 = (25 + 32)*4 = 228”
