CHECK FOR GROSS BEARING PRESSURE

2
Safe NET bearing pressure = 156 KN/m
2
Safe gross bearing pr. = 188.30 KN/m (net pr. + depth of foot * soil unit wt)
Unfactored load case number = 215
Axial load from output (P1) = 2490 KN
Moment about Z axis (Mz) = 36 KN-m
Moment about X axis (Mx) = 15 KN-m
Depth of top of foot. from ground = 0.85 m
3
Unit wt of soil = 19 KN/m
Weight of soil retained above foot = 292.80 KN
P = (P1+soil+pedestal+foot selfwt) = 3175.50 KN
2 P My Mx
Maximum bearing pressure = 175.72 KN/m  
Minimum bearing pressure = 167.94 KN/m

CALCULATION FOR BOTTOM STEEL

Mu about X1 X1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 237.23 KN-m per meter
Mulimit = 1565.15 KN-m per meter
0.5 f ck  4 .6 M u 
Ast  1  1   bd The section is singly reinforced
f y  f ck bd 2 

Hence, Ast = 728.690 mm
2
Min Ast = 920.400 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 218.45 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.12 %
Hence provide 16 mm dia bar @ 218 mm c/c parellel to length of footing ( || to Z)

Mu about N1 N1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 237.23 KN-m per meter

Min Ast = 920.4 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 218.45 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.12 %
Hence provide 16 mm dia bar @ 218 mm c/c parellel to breadth of footing ( || to X)

CHECK FOR ONE WAY SHEAR :

One way shear at critical section L1- L1
Distance of critical sec. from edge of footing = 1.083 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 1.083 x 1m width of footing = 150.136 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.196 N/mm
2
tc = 0.26 N/mm
tv < tc hence O.K.

One way shear at critical section L2- L2

Distance of critical sec. from edge of footing = 1.083 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 1.083 x 1m width of footing = 150.136 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.196 N/mm
2
tc = 0.26 N/mm
tv < tc hence O.K.

CHECK FOR TWO WAY SHEAR

Ref. cl 34.2.4 and cl.31.6.3 of IS 456 : 2000
Allowable shear stress tv allowable = kstc
ks = ( 0.5 + bc) = 1.54762 >1
Hence, ks= 1
2
tc = 0.25 (fck)0.5 = 1.11803 N/mm
2
tv allowable = ks x tc = 1.11803 N/mm
Shear force Vs = 138.63 ( 4.4 x 4.2 - 1.467 x 1.267) = 2304.21 KN
Length of critical section = 2 x ( 1467 + 1267) = 5468 mm
2
Area of the critical section (length of critical sec x eff. d ) = 4193956 mm
2
Hence shear stress tv = 0.549 N/mm
tv < allowable hence O.K.
