A footing is carrying a design column load of 22 k and a moment of 5 k-ft in one direction. The footing will be founded on sand at a depth of 2 ft. The water table is 3 ft below the ground surface. Design the footing width for a square footing that will carry the design loads and meet the presumptive allowable bearing pressure per the International Building Code.
