    This document provides an example of the design of a strap footing. It gives the dimensions, loads, and material properties and then walks through the step-by-step calculations to determine the dimensions, reinforcement, and design of the footing and strap beam. It calculates the forces and moments, determines the footing and strap dimensions, calculates the required reinforcement, and provides a table summarizing the reinforcement design. The example is solved for a trial value of e = 1.2 m and shows the final design satisfies equilibrium and provides adequate strength.

    Strap (Cantilever) Footing (Design Equations)


    Example #1 (Design)
    Example 9-3 pp. 487!489 in Textbook by J. Bowles. This example is partial in the
    textbook and completed here
    Design the strap footing shown below. Given:
    fc' = 24 MPa, fy = 345 MPa, and soil qa = 120 kPa

    DL = 320 kN
    LL = 260 kN

    DL = 500 kN

    P2 = 500 + 400 = 900 kN
    1 of 7

    P = 580 + 900 = 1480 kN

    Advanced Foundation Engineering


    Example on Design of Strap Footing
    Dr. Adnan A. Basma

    Ultimate loads : Pu1 = 1.4(320) + 1.7(260) = 890 kN


    Pu2 = 1.4(500) + 1.7(400) = 1380 kN
    Pu = 890 + 1380 = 2270 kN
    Ultimate ratio ru = Pu/P = 2270/1480 = 1.53
    Ultimate applied pressure qu = 120 " 1.53 = 183.6 kPa
    #Mcol. 2 = 0:

    R1 (6.2 ! e) + (890 x 6.2) = 0 ......................................... (1)

    #MR1 = 0:

    1380 (6.2 ! e) ! R2 (6.2 ! e) ! 890 e = 0 ...................... (2)

    #F = 0:

    2270 ! R1 ! R2 = 0 ...................................................... (3)

    To solve these three equations assume e = 1.2 m (trial value)


    a) By Eq. 1, R1 = 1103.6 kN
    b) By Eq. 1, R2 = 1166.4 kN
    c) R1 + R2 = 2270, therefore Eq. 3 is satisfied.

    From this table the following can be observed:


    1. All values of e will check Eq. 3, i.e. R1 + R2 = 2270
    2. Regardless of the value of e, the total area A = 12.36 m2. This makes
    R * R 2 2270
    sense since the total area A = 1
    +
    + 12.36 m2 and is
    qu
    183.6
    independent of e.
    3. For e = 0.9 m, B1 = B2. This would seem to be the best choice.

    However, the value of e gives L1 < B1


    4. For e= 1.0 m the resulting Footing 1 is square with L1 , B1 = 2.41 m.

    This would seem to the most ideal solution

    To continue with the solution of the textbook, we shall assume e = 1.2 m


    and use L1 = 2.8 m, B1 = 2.15 m and B2 = 2.52 m.

    STEP 2 DRAW SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAMS (L - DIRECTION)


    qu1, L = 183.6 x 2.15 = 394.1 kN/m
    qu2, L = 183.6 x 2.52 = 462.9 kN/m
    The shear and bending moment diagrams are shown on the next page.

    Using Structural Depth of Concrete table for punching shear failure, with
    Pu1 = 890 kN, fc' = 24 MPa and p' = 2l + w = 2(0.4) + 0.4 = 1.2 m, the
    value of d' , 0.35 m

    Estimate d' for footing 2 by 4-way punching shear under column 2


    Using Structural Depth of Concrete table for punching shear failure, with
    Pu2 = 1380 kN, fc' = 24 MPa and p' = 2l + 2w = 2(0.4) + 2(0.4) = 1.6 m,
    the value of d' , 0.42 m

    Therefore use d' = 0.45 m for both footings

    STEP 4 REINFORCEMENT IN L-DIRECTION


    Calculation of moments per meter (values from moment diagram)
    Footing 1 (top steel), Mu / m = 828/2.15 = 383.1 kN.m/m
    Footing 2 (top steel), Mu / m = 270/2.15 = 125.6 kN.m/m
    Footing 2 (bottom steel), Mu / m = 260/2.15 = 120.9 kN.m/m
    Strap beam, Mu = 770 kN/m

    STEP 6 DEPTH OF STRAP BEAM


    Assume that the width of the trap = b = 0.3 m
    VStrap = 213 kN (from shear diagram)
    Shear strength of concrete /c = 8.87 f ' c = 8.87 24000 + 1374.1 kPa
    The shear stress, /u =

    Vstrap
    b h

    213
    = 1374.1
    0. 3 h

    Solving for h, we get h = 0.52 m. Use h = 0.55 m

    Reinforcements:
    Using the footing depth in step 3 and the moments in steps 4 and 5, the
    reinforcement of Footing 1 and 2 are obtained from Percent Steel Tables. In
    a similar fashion, using h of the strap in step 6 and the moment in step 4, the
    reinforcement of the strap is obtained from Percent Steel Tables. It should be
    noted that the reinforcement in the footings is per meter while for the strap it is
    total. For these reinforcements, the following table is prepared.
