A footing is carrying a design column load of 22 k and a moment of 5 k-ft in one direction. The footing will be founded on sand at a depth of 2 ft. The water table is 3 ft below the ground surface. Design the footing width for a square footing that will carry the design loads and meet the presumptive allowable bearing pressure per the International Building Code.

A square footing, 1.7 m x 1.7 m, is to be founded at a depth of 1.4 m below the ground surface of a deep clayey sand stratum. The saturated unit weight of the soil is 17 kN/m3. Based on drain triaxial tests, the soil parameters are c' = 7 kPa and ø' = 25°. The ground water table was found at the surface level. The foundation is to carry a permanent load of 280 kN and a variable load of 210 kN.

A 500 mm square concrete column carries a factored ultimate vertical column load of780 kN. The vertical service load is 650 kN. It is to be supported on a square footing withf′ c = 17 MPa and fy = 420 MPa.
