Design of Combined Footing

The document provides design parameters for a combined footing using the limit state method. It gives information on material properties, loads from two columns, and performs calculations to size the footing, determine reinforcement requirements, and check punching and wide beam shear stresses. The footing is designed as 1.34m wide and 2.8m long with longitudinal reinforcement of 4Φ20 bars at 130mm spacing and transverse reinforcement of Φ14 bars at 200mm spacing.
