Question: A rectangular column footing is to be designed to carry the following column loads: P D L = 8 5 0 k N , P

A rectangular column footing is to be designed to carry the following column loads:
PDL=850kN,PLL=690kN
MDL=160kN-m,MLL=190kN-m
The column is 500mm500m and is reinforced with 8.25mm bars. The base of the footing is 1.6m
below the natural grade and the and the effective soil bearing capacity may be conservatively taken as
190kPa. Assume L=1.4B and f'C=27.6MPa and fy=414MPa. Use 75mm as steel covering.
Determine the ultimate soil pressure at the base (if soil pressure is uniform).(10 pts)
a.,145.57kPa
b.227.38kPa
c.183.25kPa
d.257.45kPa
Determine the mimimum and maximum ultimate soil pressure at the base of the footing (soil
pressure at the base is not uniform).(10 pts)
a.-71.07kPa&-203.93kPa
c.-87.27kPa&-193.73kPa
b.-91.07kPa&-223.93kPa
d.-87.07kPa&-258.25kPa
A rectangular column footing is to be designed to
