Question: Problem 1 : A 3 5 0 mm thick wall footing is to support a 3 0 0 mm thick concrete wall supporting a uniform

Problem 1: A 350 mm thick wall footing is to support a 300 mm thick concrete wall supporting a uniform dead load of 150kNm and uniform live load of 175kNm. The base of the footing is 1.8 m below the natural grade where the soil weighs 15.6kNm3. Concrete weighs 23.5kNm3,fc'=27.5MPa,fy=300MPa. Allowable soil bearing pressure =180kPa and clear concrete cover is 75 mm . Use 16 mm diameter for main reinforcement and 12 mm diameter for temperature reinforcement. Determine the following (1 point each):
a. Effective depth in mm
b. Net soil pressure in kPa
c. Width of the footing in m(round up to nearest 1 decimal place)
d. Ultimate soil pressure in kPa
e. Shear force at critical section in kN
f. Nominal shear stress in MPa
g. Ultimate moment at critical section in kN-m
h. Rn in Mpa
i.
j.min
k. As for main reinforcement in mm2
Spacing of main bar in mm (round down to nearest whole number)
m. Number of temperature bar
