The prototype building for the class (Lecture 2) utilizes simple spot footings for the support of typical gravity columns. At grid intersection C,2 is one such column and spot footing. The loads for the \ building are as follows:\ Roof Dead Load = 100 psf (includes weight of structure)\ Roof Snow Load = 30 psf\ Floor Dead Load = 120 psf (includes weight of structure)\ Floor Live Load = 50 psf (office building)\ Using this information, determine the loads from the column to the footing necessary for the footing \ design. Use live load reduction techniques as allowed by ASCE 7 to economize the design using the \ method correlating to the equation below (see Lecture 3). Next, determine the controlling load case \ for design of the footing interface with the soil and size the footprint of the footing (use a square \ footing). Use an allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 psf. After that, design the footing and its reinforcement considering flexure and shear. Sketch a cross section of the footing and indicate its dimensions and reinforcement with sufficient detail that someone could build the footing from the information you provide. See Detail A1/SB400 of the prototype building for guidance
