Question

Transcribed Image Text:A 4.7 m square footing is proposed to
be used to support a 398 mm x 398
mm RC column loaded with 860 kN
dead load and 654 kN live load. The
bottom of the footing is 2 m below
the ground. Assume soil weighs 19
kN/m³ and the allowable soil bearing
pressure is 285 kPa. The thickness of
the footing is 552 mm. f = 21 MPa
and fy = 420 MPa. It is to be
reinforced with 20 mm diameter. Use
24 kN/m³ as the unit weight of
concrete.
Use an effective depth measured from
the top of the footing until the center
of the bottom-most bar
Calculate the number of bars required
in one direction.
Provisions are given below for the
