Design a square footing to support a R.

C column of thickness (40* 40)cm, the

column ultimate load is 2800 Kn, and working load is 1866 Kn , and the
allowable net bearing capacity in the footing site is 302 KN/m2
(Fcu = 45 N/mm2,Fy = 500 N/mm2)
Answer
1) Thickness of Plain Concrete tpc = 10 cm
2) Calculate Dimensions of Footings
A r.c= P WORKING/ B.C
=1866/302= 6.1 m2 Br.c=√A=√6.1= 2.48
F1= 250×250

3) Get Critical Sections

Fact = = 448 KN/m2

Actual Area 6.25

BR c — Short Direction 2.5— 0.4

qcu ≥ q Safe Shear but better Increase Dimensions
Take : Tr.c = 600mm , d = 530mm

6) Check Punching
QP = Pu — (Fact)[(a + d)(b + d)]
= 2800 - 448 * [(0.4 + 0.53)×2] = 1966 kN
qpu= QP * 1000/[2(a+d)+2(b+d)]×d2
1966000/[2(400 + 530) + 2(400 + 530)] * 530
=0.997 N/mm2

qpcu = 0.316 Fcu 45 qpcu = 1.6 N/mm2

— = 0.316 — = 1.73N/mm2 (OK)
