Question
A 200 mm reinforced concrete wall
carries a dead load of 140 kN/m
including self-weight and a live load of
60 kN/m. It is to be carried by 500 mm
thick footing with its bottom 1.5 m
below NGL. Soil bearing capacity is 180
kPa. fc'= 21 MPa, unit weight of
concrete = 24 kN/m3, unit weight of
soil = 18 kN/m3.
Determine the width of the footing
required to carry the given loads.
1.5 m
PD = 140 kN/m
P₁ = 60 kN/m
B
500 mm
