A 1.9 m wide x 0.35 m thick RC footing is to be provided for a 250mm thick RC wall. The wall carries a dead load of 289 kN/m and a live load of 328 kN/m of the wall. The gross allowable soil pressure is 313 kPa. The bottom of the footing is 954 mm below the ground. Use f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. Unit weight is 23.6 kN/m3 for concrete and 18.4 kN/m3 for the soil backfill. Calculate the ratio of the actual soil pressure to net effective pressure. (q/qeff ).
