Design a load bearing wall with the following data:

DL = 45 KN/m
LL = 20 KN/m
qall = 100 KN/m2
Depth of top of foundation from the groundlevel
Df = 1.2 m
fy = 420 Mpa
fc' = 24 Mpa
Unit weight of soilg s = 18 KN/m3
Unit weight of concreteg c = 25 KEN/m3
Solution:
According to ACI-Code 7.7.1, the minimum depth of footing d = 150mm
over steel, cover = 70 mm, so
hmin = 150+70 = 220 mm
Assume h = 250 mm,give
d = 250-70 = 180 mm
also,
weight of foundation = 0.25gc = 0.25x25 = 6.25 KN/m2
weight of soil above foundation = 1.2gs = 1.2x18 = 21.6 KN/m2
Total = 27.85 KN/m2
Net allowable soil bearing capacity
qall(net) = 100-27.85 72.15 KN/m2
Hence, required width of foundation
DL = 45KN
LL = 20KN
qallnet= 72.15KN/m2

According to ACI-Code

Design a square footing to support column load given the followint information:
fc' = 24 Mpa
fy = 420 Mpa
DL = 1125 KN
LL = 675 KN
Column size = 0.5 m x 0.5 m
Allowable bearing soil-capacity qall = 300 KN/m2
g c = 25 KN/m3
g s = 20 KN/m3
Solution:
let us assume that the average weight of concrete and soil above the base of the foundation
equal to 22.5 KN/m3, so
qall(net) = qall-Df x 22.5 = 300 x 22.5 x 1.25 = 271.9 KN/m2

Critical area = (2.6 x 2.6) - (0.5 x 0.5)
Assume H = 60 cm
D = 60 - 7 = 53 cm
