A column 300 x 300 mm supports a dead load of 948 kN and a live load of 744 kN. The allowable soil bearing pressure is 262 kPa. The base of the footing is 1.7 m below the grade. Assume weight of concrete is 23.4 kN/m3 and that of soil is 16.9 kN/m³. Total depth of footing is 579 mm and has an effective depth of 461 mm. Determine the dimension of the square footing in meters "m".

![A column 300 x 300 mm supports a dead load of 948 kN and a live
load of 744 kN. The allowable soil bearing pressure is 262 kPa. The
base of the footing is 1.7 m below the grade. Assume weight of
concrete is 23.4 kN/m³ and that of soil is 16.9 kN/m³. Total depth of
footing is 579 mm and has an effective depth of 461 mm.
Determine the dimension of the square footing in meters "m".
Tip: avoid rounding off the values during the solution, use shift store
function of calculators to get the correct answer in 3 decimal places.
Note: Input the exact value/dimension in 3 decimal places.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F292f3973-5cdc-4d49-9265-81d5fff23336%2F33f45eb5-df4a-4b34-9cdd-c8b995419930%2Fes47gv_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
