Question
It is required to design a combined footing for two RCC columns spaced at 4.5 m C/C. The columns are 350
mm square in size. The characteristic materials strengths are fck = 30 N/mm² for concrete and fyk = 500 N/mm²
for the steel reinforcement respectively.
Effective cover to reinforcement on all sides = 50 mm.
●
Allowable bearing capacity of soil is 201 kN/m²
Characteristic axial permanent action on each column 1382 kN
● Characteristic axial variable action on each column 217 kN
By referring to the Euro code 2, provide the following:
Assess whether the effective depth of footing provided is satisfactory to resist punching shear.
Calculate the area and spacing of steel reinforcement required for longitudinal and transverse
direction.
