Ombined Footing Design Calculation in Excel Spreadsheet

This document provides instructions for designing a combined footing using an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet considers: (1) the size of the combined footing, (2) design in the longitudinal direction, and (3) design in the cross direction. The design process involves inputting data, calculating forces and moments, checking reinforcement and development length requirements, and determining steel requirements under each column. The spreadsheet allows quick combined footing design according to the Ultimate Strength Design method.

Combined Footing Design Calculation in Excel Spreadsheet

Hey, I'm Engr. BalaRam, Today I share How to design combined footing by Ultimate Strength
Design(USD) method. You can download this design calculation Spreadsheet in free.

How to Design Combined Footing?


This Excel Spreadsheet helps you with the design of combined footing. Following parts are
considered in it to perform the Size of the Footing:

 Size of combined footing.


 Combined footing design in the longitudinal direction.
 Combined footing design in a cross direction.

Step -01: Input your data For Example:

Step -02: Footing Size

Since the space between the bottom of the footing and the surface will be occupied partly
by concrete and partly by soil (fill), the average unit weight of 125 lb/ft3 will be assumed.

So, Pressure of Soil, A1 = 125.00 pcf.


Let, Top of the Footing below GL, B1 = 8.00 ft.
The Soil Pressure at 8.00 ft depth, C1= A1xB1 = 1,000.00 psf.
Step -03: Calculating S.F & B.M at Different Points

Factored Load on Colm.A, PuA= 254.00 kips (Load taken from Staadpro)
Factored Load on Colm.B, PuB= 267.00 kips (Load taken from Staadpro)

Factored Load from Colms, Pu = 521.00 kips.

Upward pressure caused by the factored load of the column, Qu = Pu / (LxB) = 3.02 ksf.

The Net Upward pressure per linear foot in the longitudinal direction is,
Wu = Qu*B kips/ft. = 28.16 kips/ft.
Calculating S.F & B.M at Different Points
Step -04: Checking "d" from Punching Shear

Let, the depth of the footing, d = 15.50 in 1.29 ft.


Punching shear should be checked on a perimeter section st a distance d/2 around the column.
Of the two columns, the left side column (Col.A) is more critical at a distance d/2 from the
column face in regard to the punching shear.

Step -05: Checking "d" from Beam Shear


The selected value d= 15.50 inches will now be checked for one-way or beam shear at a
distance "d" to the left side of Column B. The factored shear force acting on that section is:-

Step -06: Checking "d" from Maximum Moment

Step -07: Steel Requirements in the Long Direction (L) (Top Bar)

Steel Requirements in the Long Direction


Step -08: Development length of deformed bars in Tension Zone (Top Bar)

The distance from the point of Max. Moment to the nearer left end of the bar is:-
= X+C2-3/12 (deducting 3" clear cover) = 7.99 ft.

Which is much larger than the required minimum development length. So, the selected
reinforcement is therefore adequate for both bending and bond.

Step -11: Steel requirements under Column "A" (Longitudinal)

Reinforcement Required: -
Reinforcement Required

Step -12: Steel requirements under Column "B" (Longitudinal)


Step -13: Design of Transverse Beam Under Column."A"

From Step-11, the width of the transverse beam under Col.A, b= 2.15 ft.

Since the transverse reinforcement is placed on the top of the longitudinal bars, the actual
depth will be, d= Actual "d" - 1 in = 14.50 in
Factored Load on Colm.A, PuA= 254.00 kips.

Width of the Footing, B = 9.33 ft.


The net upward load per linear foot of the transverse beam, WuA = PuA / B
= 27.22 kip/ft = 27,224.01 lb/ft.

The moment at the edge of Col.A, Mu = WuA*X1*(X1/2)


X1= B/2 - Z1/2
= 236,130.50 lb-ft. = 4.17 ft.

Step -14: Design of Transverse Beam Under Column."B"

From Step-11, the width of the transverse beam under Col.B, b= 2.13 ft.
Since the transverse reinforcement is placed on the top of the longitudinal bars, the actual
depth will be, d= Actual "d" - 1 in = 14.50 inches.

Factored Load on Colm.B, PuB= 267.00 kips


Width of the Footing, B = 9.33 ft.

The net upward load per linear foot of the transverse beam, WuB = PuB / B
= 28.62 kip/ft = 28,617.36 lb/ft.

The moment at the edge of Col.A, Mu = WuB*X2*(X2/2)


X2= B/2 - Z2/2
= 233,540.58 lb-ft. = 4.04 ft.

Step -15: Development Length for Column

Where D = Dia of Footing Reinforcement.


Where, SO = Perimeter of Reinf.
= 2*P*r
= P*d
P = 3.14
