CHECK FOR GROSS BEARING PRESSURE

Safe NET bearing pressure = 325 KN/m2
Safe gross bearing pr. = 340.75 KN/m3 (net pr. + depth of foot * soil unit wt)
Unfactored load case number = 1

Moment about Z axis (Mz) = 103.33 KN-m 155 MZ
Moment about X axis (Mx) = 145.33 KN-m 218 MX
Depth of top of foot. from ground = 0.875 m

CALCULATION FOR BOTTOM STEEL

Mu about X1 X1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 150.08 KN-m per meter
Mulimit = 1246.84 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 = 565.811 mm
2
Min Ast = 1695.000 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 185.34 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.30 %
Hence provide 20 mm dia bar @ 185 mm c/c parellel to length of footing ( || to Z)

Mu about N1 N1 = ( pe max x length2/2)= 209.62 KN-m per meter

Calc. Ast = 796.332 mm The section is singly reinforced

Min Ast = 1695 mm (0.12 % for slab, cl 26.5.2.1)
Spacing = 185.34 mm (considering max of above two calculated values of Ast)
pt provided = 0.3 %
Hence provide 20 mm dia bar @ 185 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 = 0.26 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.26 x 1m width of footing = 114.665 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.203 N/mm
2
tc = 0.40 N/mm
tv < tc hence O.K.

One way shear at critical section L2- L2

Distance of critical sec. from edge of footing = 0.41 m
Shear force Vs =pe max x 0.41 x 1m width of footing = 180.818 KN
2
Shear stress tv = Vs/bd = 0.320 N/mm
2
tc = 0.40 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 = 441.02 ( 2.25 x 2.25 - 1.165 x 0.865) = 1788.24 KN
Length of critical section = 2 x ( 1165 + 865) = 4060 mm
2
Area of the critical section (length of critical sec x eff. d ) = 2293900 mm
2
Hence shear stress tv = 0.780 N/mm
tv < allowable hence O.K.
