Problem - 1: A 18 in square column with fc = 4 ksi, reinforced with eight #8 bars of

fy=60 ksi, supports a dead load of 225 kips and a live load of 175 kips. The soil fill has a
unit weight of 100 pcf. The allowable soil pressure qa is 5 k/ft2. Design a square footing
with base 5 ft below grade, using fc=4 ksi and fy= 60 ksi.
Design Specification:
Column Size = 18 x 18 , Rebar Provided: 8 Nos. #8 bar.
f 'c = 4000 psi, f y = 60000 psi f, Dead Load = 225 Kips, Live Load = 175 Kips
q a = 5 K/ ft 2 , Footing Depth = 5-0
Let Assume the thickness of footing = 24
15% added load on footing = (225 + 175) + (225 + 175) x 15%
= 460 Kips.

Design a square column footing for a 16 in square tied interior column

that supports a dead load of 200 k and live load of 160 k. The column is reinforced with
eight #8 bars, the base of the footing is 5 ft below the grade, and the soil weight is
100 lb /ft3. Use fc=3000 psi and fy = 60000 psi and qa = 5000 psf.

Let Assume the thickness of footing = 24
