Calculate the number of steel bars #6 in a square footing necessary to resist a factored moment of Mu = 60 T-m. The footing has the following characteristics. B = 2.6 m, Fy = 4200 kg/cm2, f'c = 250 kg/cm2, d = 42.5 cm. Assume that the footing is ductile and you can use the reduction factor of 0.9 O 12 O 14 O 21 O 17
A combined footing is proposed to support two columns, C1 and C2, with loads equal to 2000 kN and 3000 kN, respectively. The column C1 has dimensions equal to 25x50 cm and C2 has dimensions 25x75 cm, while the spacing between the two columns is 5 meters. The footing is to be founded in a silty sand soil layer with the following engineering properties: γ = 18.2 kN/m3; φ = 33o and c = 30 kPa. The groundwater table is very deep, while the foundation level is 2.1 m from the ground surface, tp.c. (thickness of plane concrete) = 10 cm, fcu = 25 MPa, and the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure is equal to 5.0. It is required to do the following: (i). calculate the soil bearing capacity (limit to 2.0 kg/cm2 if exceed this value) (ii). determine the footing dimensions (iii). design the footing for flexure (iv). check shear and punching (v). sketch the required steel reinforcement
