ASDIP Foundation - Combined Footing Verification Example PDF

The document describes the design of a combined footing to support two columns. It verifies that the footing can support the service loads on the columns without exceeding allowable soil bearing pressure or punching shear capacity. Reinforcement is designed to resist bending and shear stresses in the footing. Dowels are specified to transfer load between the footing and column.

Combined Footing Verification Example

Reference: Reinforced Concrete – Mechanics and Design, 5th Edition, by Wright and MacGregor,
Prentice Hall, 2009. Example 15-4.

A combined footing supports an 24-in x 16-in exterior column carrying a service dead load of 200 kips
and a service live load of 150 kips, plus a 24-in square interior column carrying service loads of 300
kips dead and 225 live. The distance between the columns is 20-ft center to center. The allowable soil
bearing pressure is 5000 psi at a depth of 4-ft below the finished floor. The density of the fill above
the footing is 120 pcf. Design the footing assuming f’c = 3 ksi and fy = 60 ksi.

The resultant of the column loads is located at a distance:

(8 x 350 + 248 x 525) / (350 + 525) = 152” from the exterior face of the exterior column.

- Try a combined footing 25’-4” long x 8’-0” wide x 3’-4” thick. The factored net pressure is:

qnu = (1.2 x (200 + 300) + 1.6 x (150 + 225)) / (25.33 x 8) = 5.92 ksf

Max. shear at CL of ext. column = 5.92 x 8 x 0.67 – 1.2 x 200 – 1.6 x 150 = 448 kips

Max. shear at CL of int. column = 5.92 x 8 x 4.67 – 1.2 x 300 – 1.6 x 225 = 499 kips

Distance of zero shear from CL of ext. column = 20 / (448 + 499) * 448 = 9.45 ft

Maximum bending moment = 5.92 * 8 * 0.672 / 2 – 448 * 9.45 / 2 = 2106 k-ft

- Check punching shear at interior column.

The critical perimeter is a square with sides 24 + 36.5 = 60.5”

Vu = 1.2 x 300 + 1.6 * 225 – 5.92 * (60.5 / 12)2 = 569 kips

φVc = 0.75 x 4 √3000 x 60.5 x 4 x 36.5 = 1451 kips > Vu , Ratio = 0.40 OK

- Check punching shear at exterior column.

The critical perimeter is three sided 24 + 36.5 + 2(16 + 36.5/2) = 129”

Vu = 1.2 x 200 + 1.6 * 150 – 5.92 * (24 + 36.5)( 16 + 36.5/2) / 144 = 395 kips

φVc = 0.75 x 4 √3000 x 129 x 36.5 = 774 kips > Vu , Ratio = 0.52 OK

- Check one-way shear in the longitudinal direction at distance d from the interior column face.

Vu = 499 – 5.92 * 8 * (12 + 36.5) / 12 = 308 kips

φVc = 0.75 x 2 √3000 x 96 x 36.5 = 286 kips < Vu , Ratio = 1.08 NG

Either use min additional shear reinforcement or increase f’c to 3.5 ksi.

- Design flexural reinforcement in the longitudinal direction.

Mu = 2106 k-ft. Try 19 #8 bars at top (As = 15.0 in2)

a = 15.0 x 60 / (0.85 x 3 x 96) = 3.67 in (tension controlled)

φMn = 0.9 x 15.0 x 60 (37.5 – 3.67/2) / 12 = 2408 k-ft > Mu , Ratio = 0.87 OK

Use 15 #8 bars at bottom (As = 11.9 in2)

- Check the development of top bars.

The clear spacing exceeds 2db and the clear cover exceeds db, therefore

Ld = 1.3 x 60000/(20 √3000) db = 1.3 x 54.8 x 1” = 71.2” OK

- Design the transverse bars.

The factored interior load is 1.2 x 300 + 1.6 x 225 = 720 kips

This is balanced by a net upward force of 720 / 8’ = 90 k/ft

Mu = 90 x 32 /2 = 405 k-ft. Try 9 #8 thansverse bars at bottom (As = 7.11 in2)

- Design the column-footing joint.

The allowable bearing on the interior footing is 0.85 x 0.65 x 3 x 242 x 2 = 1909 kips

The allowable bearing on the base of the column is 0.85 x 0.65 x 3 x 242 = 955 kips > Pu = 720 kips OK

Area of dowels minimum = 0.005 x 242 = 2.88 in2 (controls)

Use 8 #6 dowels. Extend dowels 25” into column.
