A 481 mm square pedestal is to be supported by a 2.08m by 5.75m footing. It is to carry an axial dead load of 563 kN and an axial live load of 904 kN and a lateral live load of 104kN acting parallel to longer dimension of footing and 1 m from the top of the footing. Thickness of footing is 520mm. Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m³;Unit weight of soil = 15 kN/m3. . Hint: (Moment from lateral force = Force x distance from the bottom of the footing).

A 481 mm square pedestal is to be
supported by a 2.08m by 5.75m
footing. It is to carry an axial dead
load of 563 kN and an axial live load
of 904 kN and a lateral live load of
104KN acting parallel to longer
dimension of footing and 1 m from
the top of the footing. Thickness of
footing is 520mm. Unit weight of
concrete = 24 kN/m3;Unit weight of
soil = 15 kN/m³.. Hint: (Moment
%3D
from lateral force = Force x distance
from the bottom of the footing).
Calculate the required soil bearing
capacity in kPa.
