1st step All steps Answer only

Step 1

In the question, it is given to design a rectangular combined footing for the two
columns.
Property lines require that the footing not extend beyond the face of column A more
than 200mm.
The unit weight of the concrete is given as 23.5KN/m^3

Explanation:

Combined footing is nothing but a type of foundation that supports two or

more columns by distributing the load to the wider area.

Step 2

a) Calculating the required area of the footing:

P1 n + P2 n
qa =
A
where,
q a = Net allowable soil pressure.
P1 n = Unfactored load at the column 1 (left)
P2 n = Unfactored load at the column 2(right)
A = Foundation area.

Weight of the soil above footing:

= 16 × (1 − 0.6)
KN
= 6.4
m2

Weight of the concrete slab:

= 23.5 × 0.6
KN
= 14.1
m2

Net allowable soil pressure:

= 190 − 6.4 − 14.1

KN
= 169.5
m2

Total load on the column A:

= 500 + 250
= 750KN

Total load on the column B:

= 800 + 400
= 1,200KN

Substituting above all the net soil pressure equation.

750 + 1,200
169.5 =
A
A = 11.50m 2

The area required for the footing is calculated.

b) Estimating the dimensions :

Location of the resultant from A:

1,200 × 5
X=
750 + 1,200
= 3.08m

Length of the footing:

L = 2 × (3.08 + 0.4)
= 6.96m

The 0.4 is considered as 200mm beyond the face of A +200mm center of A to face.

A
B=
L
11.50
=
6.96
= 1.65m

Explanation:

In this step the area required for the footing is calculated and the dimensions
like length and breadth for the footing are estimated.

Step 3

c) Shear force calculation:

For the shear force calculation assuming length as 7m and the breadth as 1.6m
Taking the factored loads,

The factored load at column A:

= 1.2 × DL + 1.6 × LL
= 1.2 × 500 + 1.6 × 250
= 1,000KN

The factored load at column B:

= 1.2 × 800 + 1.6 × 400

= 1,600KN

The location of resultant from the column A:

1,600 × 5
=
(1,600 + 1,000)
= 3.08m

Factored footing pressure for linear foot of footing :

1,600 + 1,000
Qu =
7
KN
= 371.43 2
m

The shear force at left of A:

= −0.4 × 371.43
= −148.57KN

The shear force at right of A:

= −148.57 + 1,000
= 851.42KN

The shear force at right of B:

= (7 − (5 + 0.4)) × 371.43
= 594.48KN

The shear force at left of B:

= 594.48 − 1,600
= −1,005.712KN

Explanation:

In this step the shear forces are calculated

Step 4

d) The adequacy of the footing depth for one-way shear:

ϕV C = ϕ shear × 2√f c′ × b w × d
520
= 0.75 × 2 × √21 × 1.65 × 1,000 ×
10,000
= 5,897.77KN

Shear demand= shear force at 520mm from face of A.

if shear demand > shear capacity,

the depth is inadequate.

Explanation:

In this step the shear capacity is calculated.

Answer

a) Area of the footing =11.50m 2

b) length = 6.96m
breadth = 1.65m
c) shear forces are calculated.
d) shear capacity = 5897.77KN
