Problem Set 2

This document contains two problems related to footing design for columns. Problem 1 involves designing a rectangular footing to support a column with given load and moment values, checking for shear and determining reinforcement. Problem 2 involves designing individual and combined footings for four columns, providing dimensions and reinforcement, with criteria such as soil pressure and concrete/steel properties given. The solutions provide the dimensions, reinforcement, and a sketch of the column and footing layout.

CE 171 FOUNDATION ENGINEERING

2nd Problem Set

PROBLEM 1:
A rectangular footing having a thickness of 0.75 m is supporting a 500mm x 500mm column
loaded with a downward force of

1750 KN

and a moment of

875 KN-m acting about the

transverse axis of the footing base. The maximum and minimum net soil pressure under the
footing are 285 KPa and 22 KPa, respectively. Determine the minimum dimensions of the footing
(in multiples of 0.10 m). Check the footings adequacy with respect to shear requirements and
determine the required steel reinforcements in the long and short direction and within the
bandwidth of the footing. Use fc = 21 MPa,

fy = 275 MPa and 20mm-diameter bars as

reinforcements.

PROBLEM 2:
A part of column layout is shown in the figure with corresponding column spacing and location of
the property lines. Design the footing for the remaining four columns (C21 to C24) using the
following criteria stated below.

Design Procedure:
1. Provide footing starting from column C21, then C22 until C24.
2. Try first a square footing. If square will not be possible, try rectangular. If rectangular
footing will not be possible then try rectangular combined footing.
3. Design the dimensions of length and width in multiples of 0.25 m and for the effective
depth and thickness in multiples of 5 mm.
4. Determine the number of longitudinal and transverse reinforcements for each footing.
5. After the final design, sketch the layout of the design footing together with the column
layout. Show their proper orientation and label the dimension of each footing.
HINT: You should be able to design 1 square, 1 rectangle, and 1 rectangular combined footing.

ANSWERS
1) L = 3.60 m, W = 3.20 m, long direction: Vub = 700.58 kN, Vup = 1183.68 kN, short direction: : Vub =
706.84 kN, Vup = 1193.40 kN, no. of main bars = 35, no. of temp and shrinkage bars = 19, no. of
bars in bandwidth = 17
2) For C21: Use 2.75 m by 2.25 m rectangular footing. For C22: Use 2.75 m by 2.75 m square footing.
For C23 and C24: Use 5.75 m by 2.5 m rectangular combined footing.
