    This document summarizes the design of a post footing with the following parameters: 1) A 450mm diameter post footing with a 1000mm deep socket, subject to 5kNm overturning moment and 10kN lateral load. 2) The soil has a unit weight of 18kN/m3, friction angle of 30 degrees, and cohesion of 250kPa. 3) Calculations show the bearing capacity of the footing is 451kPa, less than the required 458kPa, and the maximum bearing capacity is 901kPa, less than the required 920kPa. The design is adequate.
