SITUATION: A square spread footing is to be designed to carry a 1560 kN Live Load and a Dead Load of 910 kN. Allowable soil bearing capacity is 220 kPa. Assume the average unit weight of concrete and the soil is 18.20 kN/m3 and the base of the footing is 1.6 m from the grade line. For footing use fc' = 20.8 MPa and fy = 414 MPa and column %3D use fc' = 28 MPa, dimension of column is 500 mm square. %3D
