DESIGN OF AN ISOLATED FOOTING

Problem: Deisgn an Isolated Footing with the given data-

Fy 9500 KN
fc 30 Mpa
fy 415 Mpa
Bearing Capacity 100 KN/m2
Load Factor 1.5

L B
Column Dimension ( in mm ) 400 400
 DESIGN OF AN ISOLATED FOOTING

Approximate Area of Footing = 95 m2

Assuming Footing Dimension
L = 9.7467943 m
B = 9.7467943 m
D = 1 m
I = 161.50 m4
Weight of Footing = 2375 KN
Total Load on Footing = 11875 KN
Maximum Pressure = 125.00 KN/m2 < 100 KN/m2
FAIL
Ultimate Pressure Pu = 150.00 KN/m2

Bending Moment at Critical Section

Mu = 1756.25 KN-m
Assuming-
Clear Cover = 35 mm
Bar Size = 10 mm
Effective Depth de = 960 mm

Ku max = 0.479
Ru max = 4.133
Mu lim = 3.71E+07 N-mm
= 37126.62 KN-m > 1756.25 KN-m
HENCE SAFE

Area of Steel required -

Area of Steel required along Length - 0.0050695

Ast = 5069.54 mm2
Minimum Area of Steel required -
Ast min = 11696.15 mm2

Check for One Way Shear

Percentage of Steel Pt = 0.05
Shear Stress -
Allowable τc = 0.28 N/mm2
Vu max = 1447.40 KN
Developed τc = 0.155 N/mm2 < 0.28 N/mm2
HENCE SAFE
Check for Two Way Shear
Vu max = 1500 KN
Shear Stress -
Developed τc = 6.627 N/mm2
Ks = min(0.5+1,1) = 1
Allowable τc = Ks x τc = 1 x 0.25 x (fc)^0.5
= 1.369 N/mm2
Note - We are not deducting the upward force underneath the Area enclosed by the
critical perimeter, because in this way we are on the conservative side.

Spacing

No. of 10mm Bars = 64.55

say = 33

Spacing = 302.08732 mm

Results

Effective Depth = 960 mm

Governing Moment = 1756.25 KN-m
Area of Steel = 5069.54 mm2
Shear Stress One Way = 0.155 N/mm2
Shear Stress Two Way = 6.627 N/mm2
