MACHINE PROBLEM 1:
Design a square spread footing to support an edge column 460mm x 460mm in
dimension. The allowable soil pressure is 478.5 KPa, unit weight of soil is 20.4
KN/m³, unit weight of concrete is 23.5 KN/m³, fć = 21 MPa, fy = 414 MPa, 75mm
clear cover and 25mm diameter rebars both ways.
DL = 1070 kN & LL = 1410 kN

SOLUTION
Assume t = 790 mm
B = D = √ 5.6 ≅ 2.37 m

(d) Allowable Ultimate Soil Pressure
qa = 3540 (478.5 )

vc= vp
1 √f’c = Vp

qu=393.33 kPa
d = 3Vp
⌀√f’cbo
d = 3(3100.11)(1000)
0.75√21(4230)
From:
Mu = ΦRubd²
Ru = Mu = 951.60(1000)²
Φbd² 0.9(3000)(677.5)²
Ru = 0.7678 MPa
p =0.85f’c [1 − √1 −2Ru
fy 0.85f’c
p = 0.85(21) [1 − √1 − 2(0.9267)
414 0.85(21)
p = 0.0019

• minimum steel ratio, ACI Code
- minimum steel ratio is the larger between
Assume: Ψt=Ψe=Ψs=λ=1.0
ld = 9 * fy Ψt Ψe Ψs λ
db 10 √fi (c + Ktr )
db
ld = 32.52 diameters
db
Since:
c + Ktr > 2.5
db
Then,
ld = 30.36 diameter
db
ld = 30.36 (db) 460x460
Ld = 30.36 (25)
ld = 759 mm
ld = 3 − 0.405 − 0.075
