SOLUTION
Proportioning of footing
Trial 1
Assume a1 = 3.00m
Then e = (3.00/2)- 0.15 = 1.35m
XR = 6.00-e = 6.00- 1.35 = 4.65m
Neglecting the weight of the strap, the soil reaction R 1 will be determined by taking moment
about R2.
4.65*R1 = 6.00*900 R1 = 1161.30kN
b1 = R1/(a1 ult) = 1161.30 /( 3*100) =3.87, use b1 = 3.90m
Hence dimension of footing 1
3.00 x 3.90m
3.00 X2.75m
Trial 2
Take a1 = 2.50m
Then e = (2.50/2)- 0.15 = 1.10m
XR = 6.00-e = 6.00- 1.1. = 4.90m
4.90*R1 = 6.00*900 R1 = 1102.04kN
b1 = R1/(a1 ult) = 1102.04 /( 2.50*100) =4.41, use b1 = 4.45m
Dimension of footing 1
2.50 x 4.45m
2.00 X4.40m
The difference between stress distributions is a small amount. Hence the final proportions of
the footings as shown below would be acceptable.

Footing 1
(MN)
Since the developed shear force is greater than the punching shear resistance, one may
increase the depth
Take d= 0.55m and = min = 0.50/fyk = 0.50 /300 = 0.0017
k1 = ( 1+50) = (1 +50*0.0017) =1.085,
u1 = Pr1 =1.125+1.125+2.05=4.30m
X- direction
The magnitude of the wide beam shear is read from the shear force diagram at a distance of
d from the face of column 1.
Vd = 440.82 (0.30 +d) -900 = 440.82 (0.30 +0.55) -900=525.30kN
Wide beam shear resistance

The developed shear force in direction Y may be estimated as for the case of an isolated
footing
