Question: A typical cross - section of a square - shaped spread footing supporting a 5 0 0 m m square concrete interior column is shown

A typical cross-section of a square-shaped spread footing supporting a 500mm square concrete interior column is shown below. The column carries a specified dead load (PDL) of 1000kN and a specified live load (PLU) of 1000kN. According to the information provided by the geotechnical engineer, the allowable soil-bearing pressure (qall) is 225kPa. Use 25M regular uncoated bars for flexural reinforcement. Maximum aggregate size is 20 mm.
Design the footing according to the CSA A 23.3 design requirements.
Given: fc'=25MPa (normal-density concrete)
fy=400MPa
c=0.65
s=0.85
