Question
Consider the strip footing and loading shown below. Consider in all calculations that the footing is 1 m long in the out-of-plane direction. What is the maximum moment in kN.m per unit length that can be applied by the column in the direction shown in the figure below without compromising the stability of the foundation? (answer tolerance = 2%).
Consider γconcrete = 25 kN/m3, γsoil = 18 kN/m3 and assume the width of the embedded column to be negligible and the entire top of the foundation is covered.
