CHECK FOR GROSS BEARING PRESSURE

2
Safe NET bearing pressure = 196 KN/m
2
Safe gross bearing pr. = 257.75 KN/m (net pr. + depth of foot * soil unit wt)
Unfactored load case number = 215
Axial load from output (P1) = 2142 KN
Moment about Z axis (Mz) = 7 KN-m
Moment about X axis (Mx) = -95 KN-m
Depth of top of foot. from ground = 2.5 m
3
Unit wt of soil = 19 KN/m
Weight of soil retained above foot = 467.40 KN
P = (P1+soil+pedestal+foot selfwt) = 2800.65 KN
Maximum bearing pressure = 257.16 KN/m

CALCULATION FOR BOTTOM STEEL

Mu about X1 X1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 138.66 KN-m per meter
Mulimit = 1488.42 KN-m per meter
0.5 f ck  4.6 M u 
Ast  1  1   bd The section is singly reinforced
fy  f ck bd 2 
2
Hence, Ast = 483.70 mm
2
Min Ast = 802.80 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 140.88 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.12 %
Hence provide 12 mm dia bar @ 140 mm c/c parellel to length of footing ( || to Z) at bottom

Mu about N1 N1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 188.73 KN-m per meter

Calc. Ast = 661.95 mm The section is singly reinforced
2
Min Ast = 802.80 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 140.88 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.12 %
Hence provide 12 mm dia bar @ 140 mm c/c parellel to breadth of footing ( || to X) at bottom

CHECK FOR ONE WAY SHEAR :

One way shear at critical section L1- L1
Distance of critical sec. from edge of footing = 0.531 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.531 x 1m width of footing = 102.26 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.153 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 = 0.731 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.731 x 1m width of footing = 140.78 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.210 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) = 1.38235 >1
Hence, ks= 1
2
tc = 0.25 (fck)0.5 = 1.25 N/mm
2
tv allowable = ks x tc = 1.25 N/mm
Shear force Vs = 192.583 ( 3 x 3.4 - 1.269 x 1.269) = 1654.22 KN
Length of critical section = 2 x ( 1269 + 1269) = 5076 mm
2
Area of the critical section (length of critical sec x eff. d ) = 3395844 mm
2
Hence shear stress tv = 0.487 N/mm
tv < allowable hence O.K.
