13.0 Design of footing
13.1 Materials
Characteristic strength of concrete, fcu = 30 MPa
Yield strength of steel, fy = 460 MPa

Density of reinforced concrete = 25 kN/m3

Concrete cover = 30 mm
Allowable bearing capacity = 250 kN/m2
Angle of internal friction = 30 degrees
Coefficient of static friction = 0.4

Footing details
Base
Width of pad footing = 0.50 m
Length of pad footing = 0.50 m
Minimum depth of pad footing = 150 mm
Maximum depth of pad footing = 150 mm
Area of footing = 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 m2

13.2 Soil bearing capacity check

Loading - SLS case for Soil bearing capacity checks
Support reactions from Main beam for SLS case: Refer STAAD Annexure-A

Loading on Column leg

Maximum vertical reaction on column SLS case = 55.0 kN

Foundation loads
Footing self weight = (0.5 x 0.5 x 1.5 x 25) = 0.9 kN

13.2.1 Bearing pressure checks

Loadcase Case1
Vertical load from
column (A) 55
Footing weight (B) 0.9
P (kN)=(A+B) 55.9
P/A 224 = 55.9 / 0.25

Hence, maximum bearing pressure = 224 kN/m2

< 250 kN/m2
Hence, OK

13.3.1 Support reactions on transverse beam

Loading - Factored loads

Crtical vertical reaction on column ULS case from staad = 77.0 kN

13.3.2 Calculation of Ultimate bearing pressure for ultimate checks

Load case Case 1

Vertical load from
column (A) 77.0

Factored footing
weight (B) 1.3
P (kN) (A+B) 78.3

P/A 313

Hence, maximum bearing pressure = 313 kN/m2

< 500 kN/m2

Hence, OK

13.3.3 Moment capacity checks

Bending Moment (at the face of column)

313 kN/m 0.15 m

0.5 m

Note: All moments are calculated per m of the footing

Assuming the footing is simply supported between the two columns

Maximum UDL = 313 kN/m

Cantilever length of footing in 2.4m direction= =( 0.5 - 1.50 ) / 2 = 0.175 m

Cantilever moment = = 313 x 0.175^2 / 2 = 4.80 kNm/m

13.3.3.1 Design resistance moment of beams

Moment resistance of bottom reinforcement
Depth of section , d = 150 mm
deff = 150-30-8/2 = 116 mm

M / bd =2.78 x 10^6 / (1000 x 264^2) = 0.36 N/mm2

BS 8110-3:1985 , From chart no. 2

Minimum reinforcement required is , 100 As / bd = 0.16

From BS 8110-1-1997 , Table:3.25 Minimum % of steel required is = 0.20
As = 0.23 x b x d / 100 = 0.23 x 1000 x 264 / 100 = 232 mm2
Provide 8 mm Dia bars @ 150 mm c/c = 335 mm2
> 232 mm2 Hence, OK
