A 567 mm square pedestal is to be supported by a 3.44m by 5.21m footing. It is to carry an axial dead load of 610 kN and an axial live load of 745 kN and a lateral live load of 136kN acting parallel to long dimension of footing and 1.26 m from the top of the footing. The thickness of the footing is 525mm. Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m3; Unit weight of soil = 15.56 kN/m3. . Hint: (Moment from lateral force = Force x distance from the bottom of the footing). Calculate the required soil bearing capacity in kPa.
