Question

A continuous strip footing is to be located concentrically under a 300 mm wall that delivers service loads
D = 360 kN/m and L= 220 kN/m to the top of the footing. The bottom of the footing will be 1.2 m below the final
ground surface. The soil has a density of 20Kn/m3 and allowable bearing capacity of 280 Kn/m2. Materials
strengths are fc’ =21 MPa and fy = 276 MPa. Design the footing considering the moments induce by the following loads given below

in addition to the service loads:
MD = 50 Kn-m 
ML = 60 Kn-m 
ME = 36 Kn-M 

Use the following load combinations: 
U= 1.2D + 1.6 L 
U = 1.2DL + 1.0L + 1.0E 


a. The required width of footing,
b. The required effective and total depths, based on shear,
c. The required flexural steel area.
d. Give an on-scale schematic structural detail.
***Use 20 mm Ø
