1. A plain concrete footing is to be designed for a 400 mm reinforced concrete wall that supports a
dead load of 187 KN/m including the wall weight and a live load of 79 KN/m. The base of the
footing is to be 1.4 m below the final grade. The allowable bearing capacity is 189 Kpa, weight of
soil is 15.82 KN/m3, fc’ is 28 Mpa, and concrete to be 23.5 KN/[Link] the
(a) width of the plain concrete footing (c) adequacy of the section
(b) allowable bending strength (d) allowable shear strength
2. A wall footing is to support a 400 mm wide reinforced concrete wall with a dead load of 270 KN/m
and a live load of 210 KN/m. The bottom of the footing is 1.50 m below the final grade. Assume the
soil weighs 15.78 KN/m3 and the allowable soil pressure is 190 Kpa. Use 75 mm as concrete cover, fc’
is 28 Mpa, fy is 415 Mpa, and concrete weights 23.5 KN/m3. Compute the
(a) Width and depth of footing
(b) Spacing of 20 mm diameter main bars and 12 mm diameter longitudinal temperature and
shrinkage steel
(c) The development length required if bar location, coating, and size factors are all 1.0. Use normal
weight concrete

3. A 400 mm concrete wall supports a dead load of 280 KN/m and a live load of 230 KN. The allowable
bearing pressure is 230 KN/m2 and the level of the bottom of the footing is 1.5 m below the ground
surface. Assume concrete weighs 24 KN/m3, that of soil is 15.74 KN/m3, fc’ = 20.7 Mpa, fy = 248
MPa,. Use 25 mm diameter reinforcing bars. Thickness of footing = 500 mm and concrete cover is 75
mm. Calculate the (a) effective soil pressure, (b) width of wall footing, and (c) spacing of bars at
critical section.
4. Investigate the adequacy of the square footing. The column has dimension of 500 mm x 500 mm
and carries an axial load of 1210 KN dead load and 650 KN live load. Allowable soil pressure is 240
Kpa. There is 0.7 m height of soil having a unit weight of 15.74 KN/m3, fc’ = 20.7 Mpa, fy = 276.5
Mpa. The footing section is 2.8 m x 2.8 m with a 600 mm thickness. Use 25 mm diameter main bars.

5. Design a plain concrete footing for a 400 mm reinforced concrete wall that supports a DL = 185
KN/m and 95 KN/m live load. The base of the footing is to be 1.2 m below the final grade. fc’ = 20.7
Mpa and allowable soil pressure is 200 Kpa, weight of soil is 15.82 KN/m3.
6. Design a wall footing to support a 400 mm reinforced concrete wall with DL = 270 KN/m and LL =
180 KN/m. The bottom of the footing is 1.5 m below the final grade, the soil weighs 15820 N/m3. The
allowable soil pressure is 180 Kpa fy = 276.5 Mpa and fc’ = 27.7 Mpa.
7. A square spread footing supports 500 mm square column supporting a service dead load of 1610
KN/m and a service live load of 1150 KN. The column is built of fc’ = 34.6 Mpa and has 8 – 28 mm
diameter bars with fy = 414.7 Mpa. Design a spread footing to be constructed using fc’ = 20 Mpa, fy =
414.7 Mpa. The top of footing will be covered with 200 mm of fill with a density of 18.20 KN/m3 and a
125 mm of concrete basement floor. The allowable bearing pressure is 270 Kpa.
