Q -1: Design a rectangular footing for 20 in. square column with f c‘ = 4 ksi, reinforced with eight No.

8 bars
of fy = 60 ksi, supports a dead load of 275 kips and a live load of 200 kips. The soil (fill) has a unit weight of
100 pcf. The allowable soil pressure qa is 6 kip/sq.ft. Design the footing with base 6 ft below grade, using f c‘
= 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. One dimension of the footing is limited to 8 ft.

SOLUTION : Given, DL = 275 kips f’c = 4 ksi


LL = 200 kips f y = 60 ksi.
Df = 6 ft γ s = 100 pcf

The Column Size = 20′′X20′′


The allowable soil pressure q a = 6 kip/sq.ft
One dimension of the footing = 8 ft.
Assume, S.W. of footing = 10% of (DL-+LL) = 0.10X (275+200) = 47.5 kips
Unfactored load 275+200+ 47.5
Area of footing, A = = = 87.08 ft2
Soil pressure 6
Length of footing, L= (87.08 ÷ 8 ) = 10.885′ ≃ 11′
Size of footing, (LXB)=11'x8′
1.2 x ( 275+47.5 )+1.6 x 200
Net upward pressure ,qu = = 8.034 ksf
11x 8
Punching shear Check :
Assume, Thickness of footing, T = 24′′ ∴ d = 21′′

punching perimeter, b0 = {(c1+d)+ (c2+d)}x2 = {(20+21)+ (20+21)}x2


= 164′′
20+21 20+21
Ultimate shear, Vu = qux( A – a ) = 8.034 x { 11x8 – ( )x( )}
12 12
= 706.34 kips

Allowable shear, ∅ V c = 4∅ √ f 'cb0d = 4x0.75x√ 4000x164x21/1000

= 653.45 kips (Not Ok)


Again, Assume, Thickness of footing, T =30′′ ∴ d = 27′′

punching perimeter, b0 = {(20+27)+ (20+27)}x2 = 188′′


20+27 20+27
Ultimate shear, Vu = 8.034 x { 11x8 – ( )x( )} = 583.75kips
12 12
Allowable shear, ∅ V c = 4x0.75x√ 4000x188x27/1000 = 963.10 kips (Ok)

Beam shear Check :


Assume, Thickness of footing, T = 30′′ ∴ d = 27′′

punching perimeter, b0 = {(c1+d)+ (c2+d)}x2 = {(20+21)+ (20+21)}x2


= 164′′
20+21 20+21
Ultimate shear, Vu = qux( = 8.034 x { 11x8 – ( )x( )}
12 12
= 706.34 kips

Allowable shear, ∅ V c = 4∅ √ f 'cb0d = 4x0.75x√ 4000x164x21/1000

= 653.45 kips (Not Ok)
