Principles of Foundation Design

1. Determine the width needed for a wall footing to support loads: D = 263 KN/m and L = 176 KN/m.
In addition, a moment of 53 KN m must be transferred from the column to the footing. Assume the
footing is 450 mm. thick, its base is 1.5 m below the final grade, and qa = 192 KPa.

2. Design a reinforced concrete wall footing to support a 300-mm-wide reinforced concrete wall with
M1E

a dead load D = 300 kN/m and a live load L = 200 kN/m. The bottom of the footing is to be 1 m
below the final grade, the soil weight is 16 kN/m3, the concrete weight is 24 kN/m3, the allowable soil
pressure, qa is 190 KPa, fy = 420 MPa, and fc’ = 28 MPa.

3. Design a footing with one side limited to 2.12 m for the following: 300mm x 300mm. edge column,
D = 578 KN, L = 689 KN, fc’ = 20.7 MPa, fy = 414 MPa, qa = 192 KPa, and a distance from top of
backfill to bottom of footing = 1.5 m.
