Question:
Design a combined footing supporting one exterior and one interior column. An exterior 24x20in
column with D = 170kips, L = 130kips, and interior 25x25column with D = 250kips, L = 200Kips are to be
supported on a combined rectancgular footing whose outer end cannot protrude beyond the outer face of the
exterior column. The distance center to center of the columns is 18ft, and the allowable bearing pressure of
the soil is 5500psf. The bottom of the footing is 6ft below grade, and a surcharge of 120psf is specified on
the surface. Design the footing for f’c = 3500psi and fy = 60000psi
Solution:
Given information,
Column-1(Exterior) Column-2(interior)
Size = 24in × 20in Size = 25in × 25in
D.L. = 170kips D.L. = 250kips
L.L. = 130kips L.L. = 200kip
Total unfactored force acting on footing is, P =(170+130)+(250+200) = 750kips and it is acting at 10.8ft
from center of left column as showen in the figure.
To maintain the equilibrium, total column load must be at the center of the footing, we need to double the
distance of the resultant force from the boundary to calculate length of the rectangular combined footing
Net bearing pressure = Allowable bearing pressure – [weight of fill (granular soil) + weight of footing +
surcharge load]
qnet = qa − (γavg Df + �)
qnet = 5.5 − { 0.125 × 6 + 0.12} [γavg = Average unit weight of soil and concrete = 125psf = 0.125ksf]
qnet = 4.63ksf
We need to calculate the upward pressure cause by the factored column load;
Footing can be considered as flat slab (like a concealed beam) loaded as shown in figure

Again, As = a = 2.30 = 9.38in2

Required minimum reinforcement area has greater value than As.
So, provide 10.5in2reinforcements both in positive and negative moment zone.

20λ f c 20 × 1 × 3500
From the point of maximum moment, there is 9.44ft available length to the left and 14.23ft to the right. So,
there is sufficient space for the required development length.
Provide, 13#7bars
There is no need to check reinforcement for associated moment because exterior column has less axial force
than interior column.
Minimum steel will govern the design,
