Question 2:
Determine the net permissible soil pressure beneath a footing, given the following
information:
(1) allowable bearing capacity of soil =190kNm2;
(2) base of footing is located 1.2m below ground level; and
(3) service surcharge at ground level =5kNm2.
Assume that the weight of the soil and concrete above the footing base is 2,080kgm3.
Determine the required size of the footing, assuming a net permissible soil pressure of
190kNm2. The applied axial service dead and live loads are 2,000kN and 890kN,
respectively.
Determine the following for the footing described in the figure:
(a) factored one- way shear force at the critical section;
(b) design one-way shear strength at the critical section;
(c) factored two-way shear force at the critical section;
(d) design two-way shear strength at the critical section; and
(e) required area of flexural reinforcement at the critical section.
Assume normal-weight concrete with a compressive strength of 21MPa and Grade 420
reinforcement.
