Rectangular combined footing Example

• Given Column 1 size 30x 30


Reinf. 422
Column 2 size 40x 40cm
Reinf. 424
Ultimate soil bearing pressure , qult = 150kPa
• fyk = 300MPa fyd = 300/1.15 = 260.87 MPa

• C25 fck= 20MPafctk = 1.5 MPa,

• Required:- Design of rectangular combined

• SOLUTION
• Proportioning of footing
R

• R = 800 +1200 = 2000kN


• RX’ = 1200 *350  X’ = (1200 *350)/2000 =
210cm
• a = 2 ( X’ + 15) = 450 cm
• qult = R/A = 2000/ (4.50*b)
• 150 = 2000/(4.50 *b)  b =2.96m
• Take b =3.00m
• Actual contact pressure
•  = R/ab = 2000/ (4.50*3.00) = 148.15kPa
< qult ……….. ok

• Thickness of the footing
• Wide beam shear
• The magnitude of the wide beam shear is read off from the
shear force diagram at a distance of d from the face of the
column.
• V = 444.45 (3.45 –d) -800 =733.35-444.45d
• Take d= 0.60m and  = min = 0.5/fyk = 0.5 /300 = 0.0017
• Then, V =466.68kN
• The wide beam shear resistance according to EBCS-2 is
given by
VRd = 0.25fctd k1k2 bwd (MN)
k1 = ( 1+50) = (1 +50*0.0017) =1.085
k2 = 1.6 – d =1.6 -0.6 = 1
VRd = 0.25 *1*1.085*1*3.0*0.60 =0.488MN =488kN>V
…OK!
• Punching shear

• Net shear force developed under column 2
V2 = 1200-148.15* (1.95*2.2)=564.43kN
• Punching shear resistance
VRd = 0.25fctd k1k2ud (MN)
d= 0.60m and  = min = 0.5/fyk = 0.5 /300 = 0.0017
k1 = ( 1+50) = (1 +50*0.0017) =1.085
k2 = 1.6 – d =1.6 -0.6 = 1
u1 = Pr1 =4.5m , u2 = Pr1 = 6.1m
