Refresher Module – Structural Engineering (Combined Footings)

SITUATION:
A combined rectangular footing supports an exterior column (450mm
square) and an interior column of (500mm square) placed at a distance
center to center equal to 3.6m. The exterior column having its face along
the property line carries a DL = 535kN and LL = 446kN. The interior
column having a DL = 892kN and LL = 668kN. The bottom of the footing is
to be 1.8m below the grade. Allowable soil bearing capacity is 240kPa.
Weight of soil is 15.74kN/m3 and that of concrete is 23.5kN/m3. Take fc’
= 20.7MPa, fy = 415MPa. Assume footing thickness of 650mm. Use
75mm as steel covering.
