Question: Columns, C 1 and C 2 are each 4 0 0 m m square and 2 . 5 m apart with service loads of 4

Columns, C1 and C2 are each 400mm square and 2.5m apart with service loads of 470kN and 650kN respectively. The foundation is 1.5m below the ground level, where the bearing stress (bearing capacity) is 160kNm2.
i. Sketch the sectional elevation and the ideal diagram for the pad
ii. Calculate the total column loads, total service load and the minimum pad area, if the self-weight of pad is 11.60715% of the total column loads
iii. If the provided pad area is 15.24% more than the minimum pad area, and width of pad, B is 2m, estimate the length, L of the pad.
iv. Determine the center of gravity of the pad from Cbo and C2 and sketch the column pad on plan and in elevation
Columns, C 1 and C 2 are each 4 0 0 m m square
