DL = 50 k, LL = 30 k W 20 k existing ground 5\' soil 3\' 24\" x 24\" a) Calculate the minimum plan dimensions of the footing b) Calculate the minimum thickness of the footing c) Determine the required reinforcement for the footing and pedestal Assumptions: f\'c = 3,000 psi fy 60 ksi Allowable bearing pressure -2,000 psf coefficient of sliding friction = 0.2
Solution
a) size of the footing
Alowable bearing pressure=2000psf= 2ksf
ignoring the self weight of footing
Area of footing= (DL+LL+W)/ Allowable bearing pressure
=(50+30+20)/2 = 50 sq.ft
assume footing will be a square footing
so size of the footing = 7.1 X 7.1 ft size
minimun plan size should be 7.1 X 7.1 ft
b) thickness of the footing(d)
assume renforcement of the column be 0.75 \'\'
qu= (1.2 DL + 1.6 LL + 1.6 W)1000/144 psi = 16.95 psi
d = qu {(B/2)-(C/2)}/{ (2? ? f\'c(1/2))+qu} =16.95 {(85.2/2)-(24/2)}/{ (2* 0.75 *1 * 3000 (1/2))+16.95} = 5.23\'\'
c) Maximum bending moment (Mu?)= qu * {(B/2)-(C/2)}2 * B/2=676.117 k.ft
Ru = Mu / bd2 = 290.12 psi
?= 0.85 f\'c/fy { 1-{ 1-(2Ru/(? 0.85 f\'c))}(1/2)}= 0.007028
As= ?bd= 3.13 in2
provide 6 numbers of .6in2 bars
