Foundation Design

200*200 column, ultimate design load=700kN

(Service load=500kN) allowable bearing
pressure=150kN/m2 fc,k=25MPa fy,k=460MPa
density of r/f concrete=25kN/m2

Divide ultimate load to obtain service load

(approximately) by 1.35 or 1.45

Multiply service load to obtain ultimate load

by 1.4 or 1.45

Expected total load=1.08*500=540kN

Footing weight=8% of service load

Required area for base = total load/soil

bearing pressure= ___m2

L= ____

Take the base thickness 0.45m

Weight of base= 25kN/m3*2*2*0.45=45kN

Actual total load=500+45=545kN(only the

service load)

Required bearing pressure=act tot load/area

. of the
base

Preliminary check on effective depth

d>10(N)0.5 N= ultimate load

ultimate bending pressure=ultimate load/ .

area of footing

critical bending moment(@col face)= moment

about col face(w*l*l/2)

w= ultimate bending pressure*distance from

col face to footing edge

assume a cover (page 50) 40mm

if bar size 16mm is assumed.

Dmin = h-cover /2

Dmax = h cover /2

Davg = (Dmax + Dmin )/2
