It is to be supported on a square footingwith f′c = 20 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. The soil has an allowable bearing pressure for bearingcapacity of 650 kPa (based on LRFD methods) and an allowable bearing stress for settlementof 280 kPa. The groundwater table is at a great depth. Determine the required footing, width,thickness, size of the flexural reinforcement, and show your design in a sketch.
