Question

A (9’x9’x32”) square footing is supporting 230 kips dead load and 130 kips live load from 18-in square column. The allowable bearing soil pressure is 5000 psf. There is no over-burden soil weight. Check if the footing area satisfies the soil bearing pressure requirements. Also, check if the thickness satisfies the shear ( two and one way) requirements. Finally, design the flexural steels each direction.

There is no over-burden soil weight. Check if the footing area satisfies the soil bearing pressure requirement. Also, check if the thickness satisfies the shear (two and one way) requirements. Finally, design the flexural steels each direction. Use fe'- 3000 psi, and fy 60,000 psi.
