Question: A footing supports a 3 ft x 2 ft column load of 6 5 0 kips ( dead load ) and 2 5 0 kips

A footing supports a 3 ft x 2 ft column load of 650 kips (dead load) and 250 kips (live load) at ground surface. The foundation level is 5 ft below the ground surface. The gross allowable bearing capacity is 6 ksf. The unit of soil is 130 pcf. You are required to provide complete
design calculations for bearing, shear, and flexure for the footing: Bearing, One way shear, Two-way shear, Flexure, Check for minimum steel requirement and Check for section ductility.
(Assume fc'=4 ksi, fy =60 ksi)
