A column 18 in. square, with f. = 4 ksi, reinforced with eight No. 8 (No. 25) bars of f, = 60 ksi, supports a dead load of 225 kips and a live load of 175 kips. The soil (fill) has a unit weight of 100 pcf. The allowable soil pressure q, is 5 kips/ft?. Design a square footing with base 5 ft below grade, using f = 4 ksi and f, 60 ksi.
