A 12 in wide masonry wall carries dead and live loads of 6 k/ft and 9 k/ft, respectively, andis reinforced with #6 bars at 24 in on center. The sustained load for settlement computationis 10.5 k/ft. This wall is to be supported on a continuous footing with f′ c = 2,000 lb/in2and fy = 60 k/in2. The underlying soil has an allowable bearing pressure for bearing capacity of5,200 lb/ft2(based on LRFD methods) and an allowable bearing pressure for settlement of3,000 lb/ft2.

Question
A 12 in wide masonry wall carries dead and live loads of 6 k/ft and 9 k/ft, respectively, and
is reinforced with #6 bars at 24 in on center. The sustained load for settlement computation
is 10.5 k/ft. This wall is to be supported on a continuous footing with f′
c = 2,000 lb/in2
and
fy = 60 k/in2
. The underlying soil has an allowable bearing pressure for bearing capacity of
5,200 lb/ft2
(based on LRFD methods) and an allowable bearing pressure for settlement of
3,000 lb/ft2
. Develop a complete structural design for this footing, including dowels, and show
your design in a sketch.
