Geotechnical Foundation Engineering Guide

This document discusses different types of foundations and provides examples of skill enhancement problems. It describes wall footings, which are continuous strips of concrete that spread the weight of load-bearing walls. It also describes rectangular footings and lists several design considerations. Finally, it presents two sample problems involving determining reinforcement requirements for wall and rectangular footings.

Wall Footings

A wall footing or strip footing is a continuous strip


of concrete that serves to spread the weight of a load-bearing
wall across an area of soil. It is the component of a shallow
foundation.

Wall footings carrying direct vertical loads might be designed


either in plain concrete or in reinforced concrete. Since a wall
footing deflects essentially in one way, it is analyzed by
considering as a strip of unit width and its length.

Skillset Enhancement Undertakings # 5

CE Board May 2007


A 300 mm concrete wall supports a dead load of 300 KN/m and a live load 0f 220 KN. The allowable
bearing pressure is 240 KN/m2 and the level of the footing is 1.2 m below the ground surface. Assume
concrete weighs 24 KN/m3 and that of soil is 16 KN/m3, fc’ = 28 Mpa, fy =248 Mpa. Use 28 mmθ
reinforcing bars. Thickness of footing = 600 mm, steel covering 100 mm. Determine the spacing of bars
at critical section.

CE Board May 2012


A 450 mm square interior column carries a dead load of 825 KN and a live load of 668 KN. A
rectangular footing is required to carry the column loads such that the length of the long side must be
equal to twice the width of the short side. Assume base of footing is 1.5 m below the ground surface.
Allowable bearing pressure of soil is 15.74 KN/m3 and that of concrete is 23.5 KN/m3. Use normal
weight concrete. Thickness of footing is 0.60 m. Determine the steel requirements in the short and
long direction.
