A 300 mm thick, 2.0 m wide footing slab supports a 200 mm thick concrete wall carrying uniform service dead load of 215 kN/m and service live load of 145 kN/m. Using f’c = 21 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. Calculate: a. The maximum bending moment Mu in kN/m on 1-m strip of the footing slab (correct ans: 99) b. The required amount of flexure bars 16 mm in diameter. As = mm^2 (correct ans: 1302) c. The required spacing of 16-mm diameter flexure bars if the required amount of tensile area is 1000 mm^2 (correct ans: 200)
