A square footing is to support a 400mm x 400mm tied column that carries a service dead load of 880 kN and a service live load of 710kN. The column is reinforced with 8-25 mm diameter bars. The base of the footing is 1.5 meter below the natural grade line where the soil bearing capacity is 235 kPa. The soil above has a unit weight of 15.6 kN/m³. Using fy=275 MPa, f’c=27.5 MPa, and unit weight of concrete of 23.5 kN/m³. Assume footing depth of 600 mm for soil bearing pressure. Use U = 1.2D + 1.6L 1. Determine the number of 25 mm diameter bars in one direction.
