Question: HW Problem Given: A 1 6 ' 1 6 ' ' concrete column bears on a 9 ' 9 ' 2 ' concrete footing. The

HW Problem
Given:
A 16'16'' concrete column bears on a
9'9'2' concrete footing. The
bottom of the footing is 5 feet below
grade. The following loads and
material properties apply:
Soil:
Allowable bearing pressure qa=
5500 psf
Soil unit weight, =100 pcf
Concrete/steel:
f'c=3000 psi (footing)
fc'=5000 psi (column)
fy=60,000 psi
9 #8 bars (Ab=0.79in2)
3'' cover
Service Loads:
PDLDL=200k
Pu=160k
Find:
Check that footing is large enough for allowable soil bearing pressure
Check footing for 1-way shear
Check footing for 2-way shear
Check footing for flexure
Check development of flexure bars
a. Determine tension development length for straight bar
b. Determine tension development length for hooked anchorage
Check reinforcement limits (minmax area, minmax spacing)
Check column for bearing
Check footing for bearing
Determine required dowels for footing and column
a. Determine compression development length for bars in column
b. Determine compression development length for bars in footing
HW Problem Given: A 1 6 ' 1 6 ' ' concrete column
