CALCULATION FOR BOTTOM STEEL

Mu about X1 X1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 110.48 KN-m per meter
Mulimit = 1292.05 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 = 452.58 mm
2
Min Ast = 682.80 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 165.64 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.12 %
Hence provide 12 mm dia bar @ 165 mm c/c parellel to length of footing ( || to Z) at bottom

Mu about N1 N1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 180.38 KN-m per meter

Min Ast = 682.80 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 151.72 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.13100445 %
Hence provide 12 mm dia bar @ 151 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 = 0.106 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.106 x 1m width of footing = 51.41 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.090 N/mm
2
tc = 0.27 N/mm
tv < tc hence O.K.

One way shear at critical section L2- L2

Distance of critical sec. from edge of footing = 0.2935 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.2935 x 1m width of footing = 142.34 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.250 N/mm
2
tc = 0.28 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) = 1.5 >1
Hence, ks= 1
2
tc = 0.25 (fck)0.5 = 1.36931 N/mm
2
tv allowable = ks x tc = 1.36931 N/mm
Shear force Vs = 385.39 ( 2.1 x 2.1 - 1.319 x 0.944) = 1219.71 KN
Length of critical section = 2 x ( 1319 + 944) = 4526 mm
2
Area of the critical section (length of critical sec x eff. d ) = 2575294 mm
2
Hence shear stress tv = 0.474 N/mm
tv < allowable hence O.K.
