Square Footing Design A square column footing is to support a 500-mm square tied column that carries service dead load of 800 kN and service live load of 1000 KN. The column is reinforced with eight 25-mm-diameter bars. The base of the footing is 1.50 m below the natural grade where the allowable soil pressure is 310 kPa. The soil above the footing has unit weight of 15.6 kN/m³. Assume fy = 275 MPa, f = 27.5 MPa, and unit weight of concrete as 23.50 kN/m³. Design the footing. Use 25 mm main bars and 75 mm clear cover. Use NSCP 2015.

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.
