Footing subjected to
eccentric loading
Problem 2
Design a non-concentric footing with vertical load =40t and moment = 2tm. Allowable bearing
Provide 4 nos. 16 bars as longitudinal reinforcement and 8 stirrups @250mm c/c as transverse
reinforcement.
Determination of the size of the footing
Area required =
Therefore, d = 0.403 m
= 0.25/0.35 =0.71
Flexural reinforcement:
d provided = 450mm.
Area of steel in the central band =2 / (1.82 +1)* 1323 =938 mm2
Provide 16 bars as longitudinal reinforcement @ 200mm c/c in shorter direction in the central band. For
remaining portion provide spacing @330mm c/c.
Actually there is no need to extend column bars inside the footing, but as a standard practice the column bars are extended upto
a certain distance inside the footing.
