Chapter 6, Problem 6.15QPP
A footing is carrying a design column load of 22 k and a moment of 5 k-ft in one direction. The footing will be founded on sand at a depth of 2 ft. The water table is 3 ft below the ground surface. Design the footing width for a square footing that will carry the design loads and meet the presumptive allowable bearing pressure per the International Building Code.

- Afooting for an existing building column is 6 ft square ( ) and 3 ft below the surface. A proposed building alteration would require this footing to carry a loading of 400 kips. Is the footing of adequate size? Soil investigation indicates that the foundation soils are cohesionless, have an angle of internal friction of 35°, and a unit weight of 120 pcf. The soil rigidity index value is 150. The soil above the base of the footing is well compacted, and the foundation depth factors can be applied.
