DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR FOOTING

Problem 9.2A
A 600 mm x 600 mm column carries a toatl liveload of 1200 KN and a total deadload of 1500 KN.
The column is to be supported by a rectangular spread footing whose width is limited to 3 m and
whose bottom is 2 m below the ground surface.allowable soil bearing capacity at the base of the
footing is 230 KPa. Unit weight of soil above footing is 16 KN/cu. m3 and unit weight of concrete is
23.50 KN/ cu. m3. Assume fc' = 28 MPa and fy = 275 MPa.Use 25 mm main bars.
