Problem 1
A column 450 mm x 450 mm square supports a dead load of 1000 kN and a live load of 780 kN. The allowable
soil bearing pressure is 240 kPa. The base of footing is 1.5 m below the grade. Assume weight of concrete to be
24 kN/m3 and that of the soil to be 18 kN/m3. The total depth of footing is 600 mm with a steel covering of 100
mm
Problem 2
A compressive load P = 100 kN is applied as shown in the figure at a point 0.7 m to the left and 0.30 m above
the centroid of a rectangular section for which h = 3 m and b = 1.5 m.
1. What additional acting normal to the cross section at its centroid will eliminate tensile stress
anywhere over the cross section?
2. Determine the stress at A due to the total loads acting on the rectangular section.
3. Determine the stress at B due to the total loads acting on the rectangular section.
Problem 3
A 450 mm square interior column carries dead load of 825 kN and a live load of 668 kN. A rectangular footing
is required to carry the column loads such that the length of the long side must be equal to twice the width of
the short side. Assume base of footing is 1.5 m below the ground surface. Allowable bearing pressure of soil is
192 kPa. fc’=27.6 MPa, fy = 415 MPa, weight of soil is 15.74 kN/m3 and that of concrete is 23.5 kN/m3. Use
normal weight of concrete and thickness of footing is 0.60 m.
1. Determine the dimensions of the rectangular footing.
2. Determine the longitudinal steel requirements.
3. Determine the steel requirements in short direction.
Problem 4
A rectangular footing 2.5 m wide along the y-axis, 3 m. long along the x-axis, supports a circular pedestal, 0.45
m in diameter. The horizontal force acting at the top of the pedestal along the x-axis of the footing is 144 kN.
The total axial load from the pedestal is 1200 kN. Thickness of the footing is 0.70 m, height of backfill on top
of footing is 1.5 m, depth from the top of pedestal to the base of footing is 2.5 m. Concrete unit weight = 24
kN/m3. Unit weight of soil = 17 kN/m3.
1. Calculate the max. net soil pressure.
2. Calculate the min. net of soil pressure.
3. Calculate the required soil bearing capacity.
