A rectangular column footing is to be designed to carry the following column loads: PDL = 850 kN MDL 160 kN - m PLL = 690 KN MLL=190 kNm = The column is 500mm x 500m and is reinforced with 8-25 mm bars. The base of the footing is 1.6 m below the natural grade and the and the effective soil bearing capacity may be conservatively taken as 190 kPa. Assume L=1.4B and fc 27.6 MPa and fy = 414 MPa. Use 75 mm as steel covering.

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.
