A rectangular footing is to be used to support a 300 x 400 (400mm side is parallel to the long dimension of the footing) column loaded with 420 kN dead load and 540 kN live load. One side of the footing is 4.0m. Use effective soil pressure of 70 kPa. F'c = 35 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. Use minimum steel ratio for longitudinal bars as 0.0018. Calculate the required number of 16mm bars along the short direction inside the band width.Calculate the total required number of 16mm bars along the short direction outside the band width. Use the governing thickness based on shear requirements on both

5. A 350mm concrete wall supports a dead load of 200kN/m and a live load of 145kN/m. The allowable bearing pressure is 230kPa and the level of the bottom of the footing is 1.2m below the ground surface. Assume concrete weighs 24kN/m3 and that of soil is 16kN/m3. For concrete, use f’c = 21MPa and for steel, use fy = 415MPa. The thickness of the footing is 375mm with a steel cover of 100mm. Determine the width of the footing. a. Solve for the nominal shear stress acting on the footing. b. Determine the spacing of 20mm main reinforcements. c. Determine the number of 10mm temperature reinforcements.
