Design Examples D5 - Foundations
1. A pad foundation is required to carry a 300 x 300 column supporting the following
(unfactored)axial loads. Design the foundation.
Permanent Load (Gk) = 300 kN
Imposed Load (Qk) = 200 kNm
2. A pad foundation is required to carry a 400 x 400 column supporting the following
(unfactored)axial loads. Design the foundation.
Permanent Load (Gk) = 500 kN
Imposed Load (Qk) = 300 kNm
3. A pad foundation is required to carry a 400 x 400 column supporting the following
(unfactored) loads. Assuming the column is central on the foundation, design a
square foundation.
4. A pad foundation is required to carry a 300 x 300 column supporting the following
(unfactored) loads. Assuming the column is central on the foundation, design a
square foundation. (Note the load is outside the middle third)
5. A pad foundation is required to carry a 350 x 350 column supporting the following
(unfactored) loads. Assuming the column is central on the foundation, design a
square foundation.
