Principles of Foundation Design

1. Revisit the recently discussed problem on the design of square footing. Solve with actual
numbers computed.

2. A column 450mm x 450mm square supports a dead load of 1000 kN and a live load of 780
kN. The allowable soil bearing pressure is 240 kPa. The base of the footing is 1.5 m below the
grade. Assume weight of concrete to be 24 kN/m3 and that of soil to be 18 kN/m3. The total
M1SEU1

depth of footing is 600 mm with a steel covering of 100 mm. Determine the moment at
critical section.

3. A column 400mm x 400mm supports a dead load of 890 kN and a live load of 720 kN. The
allowable soil bearing pressure is 250 kPa. The base of the footing is 1.5 m below the grade.
Assume weight of concrete as 24 kN/m3 and that of soil is 16 kN/m3. The total depth of
footing is 560 mm and has an effective depth of 460 mm. Compute the shear stress for a
two-way shear or punching.

Please Be Noted that for all footing design undertakings we will utilize
(0.17 λ) instead of (1/6) and (0.33 λ) instead of (1/3)
