FE 1-Chapter 3-3

The document discusses the design of isolated footings, including eccentrically loaded pad bases where the base pressure varies linearly across the base. It notes that horizontal loads are resisted by passive earth pressure, friction, or adhesion depending on the soil type. A worked example is then provided to calculate the maximum base pressure, horizontal load resistance, moment reinforcement, vertical shear, and punching shear for a column footing with given load and soil properties. Design checks are performed to verify the reduced shear and moment demands do not exceed the soil resistances.

CHAPTER THREE
Design of Shallow Foundations: ISOLATED FOOTINGS
Isolated Footing Design
Eccentrically Loaded Pad Bases
• Base pressure is assumed rigid as compared with the soil.

•Therefore, varies linearly across base.


Isolated Footing Design
Isolated Footing Design
• Resistance to horizontal loads

• Resisted by passive earth pressure, friction between the base and

ground for cohesionless soils, or adhesion for cohesive soils.

μ = tanϕ
Worked Example
The characteristics load for an internal column footing in a building are given.
The proposed dimensions for the 450 mm column square and base (3600 x
2800mm)
3000 mm) are shown. The base supports a ground floor slab of 200 mm thick.
The soil is firm well drained clay with the following properties:
