A 567 mm square pedestal is to be supported by a 3.44m by 5.21m footing. It is to carry an axial dead load of 610 kN and an axial live load of 745 kN and a lateral live load of 136kN acting parallel to long dimension of footing and 1.26 m from the top of the footing. The thickness of the footing is 525mm. Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m3; Unit weight of soil = 15.56 kN/m3. . Hint: (Moment from lateral force = Force x distance from the bottom of the footing).

Design a trapezoidal combined footing for two columns (30cm ×30cm) carrying column loads of 1.2MN and 0.90MN, if the spacing between the two columns is 4m. Take allowable soil pressure as 200KN/m2 and the length of footing as 5m. Secondly, Design the footing as a strap footing if the spacing between the columns is adjusted to be 5m.
Two building columns (a wall column and an interior column) are to be supported on a common rectangular (combined) footing. The wall column imposes a loading of 120 tons; the interior column carries 200 tons. The columns are 16 ft apart. The end of the footing near the wall cannot project more than 3 ft beyond the centerline of the wall column. Using an allowable soil bearing pressure of 4,000 psf, give the length and width of foundation that should be provided.
