Question: A column is supported by a 1 4 ' - 0 1 4 ' - 0 2 . 5 ' thick concrete footing which can

A column is supported by a 14'-014'-02.5' thick concrete footing which can be modeled as a 14'-wide x
14'-0 long "beam" on an elastic foundation (assuming the soil is a "Winkler" soil).
Compute the beam maximum moment assuming (1) a rigid footing and (2) an uniform bearing pressure.
Do an "exact" analysis using the Seely and Smith charts to determine the beam maximum moment and
deflection. You will have to extrapolate from the charts given. Since you have 4 different values, one
possibility is to find the 4th order equation of the line that passes through those 4 values and to use that
equation to find the extrapolated value desired.
These are all 1 question they go together. THye are listed as 2 for grading purposes.
