Task 3 (a) An isolated footing(pad) of RCC is to be designed for a column carrying a dead load of (200 + x) kN and superimposed load of (45 + x) kN. The self weight of the column may be assumed as (75 + x) KN. The column foundation is to rest on hard soil with a safe bearing capacity of (195 + x) kN/m². If a square pad is proposed for the foundation, calculate the size of the pad. X=5
