Question

A 300 mm thick footing slab supports a 300 mm thick concrete wall carrying uniform service dead load of 145 kN/m and service live load of 215 kN/m. The base of the wall footing slab is 1.0 m from the ground surface. Design parameters are as follows: γ_soil = 16 kN/m³, γ_conc = 24 kN/m³, q_a = 200 kPa, f’_c = 28 MPa and f_y = 420 MPa.

22. Calculate the effective net soil bearing capacity of the soil. = [q] kPa (one decimal place)
