Rectangular Footing
1.) A 600 mm x 600 mm column carries a total live load of 1200 kN and a total
dead load of 1500 kN. The colum is to be supported by a rectangular spread ftg
whose width is limited to 3m and whose bottom is 2m below the ground surface.
Allowable soil bearing capacity at the base of the footing is 230 kPa. Unit weight
of soil above ftg is 16 kN/m3 and unit weight of concrete is 23.5 kN/m3. Assume
f'c = 28 MPa, fy = 275 MPa and hc = 700 mm
