Question
A 2.4m x 2.4m square footing supports a 350mm x400mm column.
Given data: Thickness of footing
= 0.60 m
Total factored axial load= 1,818 kN.
Materials:
Concrete, fe' = 20.7 MPa
Steel bars, fy= 280 MPa
(20mm bothways)
Clear bar covering= 70 mm. Strength reduction factors = 0.75 for shear
= 0.90 for bending.
1. Calculate the actual nominal shear stress in the footing (MPa) at critical section for
