SITUATION: A footing, 2 m x 3 m in plan and 0.50 m thick, is designed to support a 0.60 m square column. Due to architectural requirement, the column is located so that its external face is flush with shorter edge of the footing. The column, however, is located along the minor principal axis of the footing. The column load, including the weight of the column itself, is 50kN. Assume concrete to weigh 24 kN/m^3. Evaluate the total downward load acting on the supporting ground, in kN. 142 72 122
