Chapter - 4 - Design of Footings-2-Isolated Footing

This document provides examples of calculating the dimensions of isolated footings to support column loads. In the first example, a square footing with dimensions of 2.4m x 2.4m is calculated to support an 850kN axial load using a presumptive bearing pressure of 150kN/m^2. In the second example, a footing with dimensions of 2.4m x 2.6m is calculated to support a 1500kN column load based on bearing capacity and punching shear requirements. Reinforcement is then calculated based on the bending moment of 375 kN-m.

Examples on Isolated Footing

Examples: (Isolated Footing)


4.1 Determine the dimensions of a square footing necessary to sustain an axial column load of
850kN as shown in Fig. below, if
a. An allowable presumptive bearing pressure of 150kN/m is used.
2

b. Cu = 40 kN/m2 ; C’ = 7.5 kN/m2 ; φ’ =22.5

Solution:
a) Using presumptive value

The dimension of the footing would be 2.40m X 2.40m

b) Using the bearing capacity formula


i) Initial loading condition
ult= 5.14Cu Sc dc ic+ q Sq dq iq
Shape factors
Sc = 1.2, Sq = 1
Depth factors
dc = (1+0.4(2/B)) , dq = 1
Load inclination factors
ic = 1 , iq = 1

Examples on Isolated Footing

Solution:

Step-1: Proportioning of footing size

By trial and error b= 2.345 m. take b= 2.4m


Then a = b+0.20m = 2.60

Step-2: Calculate thickness of footing, D (Using ULSD method)

i) Punching Shear(two way shear)

The Punching shear resistance according to EBCS-2 is given by


Vup = 0.25fctd k1k2ud (MN)
Take d= 0.40m and ρ = ρmin = 0.5/fyk = 0.5 /300 = 0.0017
k1 = ( 1+50ρ) = (1 +50*0.0017) =1.085
k2 = 1.6 – d =1.6 -0.4 = 1.2
u= 2(3d +b’) +2(3d+a’) = 12d +2b’ + 2a’ = 12*0.4 +2*0.5 +2*0.3 =6.4
Then
Vup = 0.25*1*1.085 *1.2 *6.4*0.4=0.83328MN = 833.28kN
