Question: A 5 0 0 m m 5 0 0 m m square column supports a live load of 1 0 0 0 kN and a

A 500mm500mm square column supports a live load of 1000 kN and a dead load of 1400 kN . The column is to be supported by a rectangular spread footing, with its width limited to 2.5 m and the bottom of the footing located 1.8m below the ground surface. The allowable soil bearing capacity at the base of the footing is 220 kPa . The soil above the footing has a unit weight of 17kNm3, and the unit weight of concrete is 23.5kNm3.
For the materials, use:
Concrete compressive strength, f'c =28 MPa
Steel yield strength, fy =275 MPa
Design the dimensions and reinforcement of the footing, using 25 mm diameter main bars.
