Combined Rectangular Footing.

Fig. 1 shows a combined rectangular footing for two columns A and B carrying loads

bearing capacity, the footing area is given by

Suitable values of length L and breadth B of the footing are chosen, so that B x L = A. The
longitudinal projections a1 and a2 should be so chosen that the C.G. of footing coincides with the
C.G. of the two loads.

From the above, the projection a1 and a2 can be determined.

The net upward pressure p0 is given by

This net pressure intensity is used for structural analysis and design combined footing. A
combined foundation may be either of reinforced cement concrete (R.C.C.) or of steel grillage
type.
