Question
A square column 369 mm x 369 mm rests on a square footing. The column supports a
dead load of 1,289 kN and a live load of 739 kN. The soil bearing capacity is 336[85 kPa.
The base of the footing is 1.77 m below the ground. Assume unit weight of concrete of 24
kN/m and unit weight of soil of 17.77 kN/m. The footing has a thickness of 593 mm and
the centroid of the main bars is 100 mm from the bottom of the footing.
Calculate the nominal punching shear stress in MPa.
Note: Present the width (B) in multiples of 100 mm.
