Conclusion
Based on the computations, the thickness of the footing of 0.45 x 0.45 column is
250mm, which is adequate; however, on the footing of 0.35 x 0.35 column, the concrete
thickness is only 150 mm, more likely the effective depth is only 45mm, which means the
development of the hook of reinforcing bars can be exposed. Some columns are not necessary,
it led the group to lessen the columns.

Solution/Recommendation
Since engineers are the ones in charge of designing a structure to make it safe and
economical, the group adjusted and revised the structural frame of the residential project,
resulting in a decrease in the base column, which is not necessary. From 18 columns, the
group decreased it to 8 columns.
