Question: Footing Analysis Given: The 2 4 square concrete column carries 3 2 5 k of dead load and 1 6 0 k of live

Footing Analysis
Given:
The 24" square concrete column carries 325k of dead load and 160k of live load. Soil bearing pressure for the site is 3,000 psf at grade and the footing is to be placed 4' below grade. The concrete
strength is 3,000 psi and the yield strength of the steel is 60ksi. Specific weights for concrete and the soil are 150 pcf and 120 pcf respectively.
A 15'15'24" thick footing, with (14)#6 bars evenly spaced, both ways, placed at 20" deep from the top of the footing has been specified for the column.
Find: Will the footing work? If not, in what mode or modes does the footing fail?
