Hello all,
Having trouble answering this question as part of a course on Mechanics of Solids, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to start?
A 2.45m by 2.45m reinforced concrete footing support a 400mm by 400mm column. The service load of the column and footing can be taken as 1050kN. The design load on the column is 1450kN, the effective depth of the footing is 450mm. The allowable bearing capacity of the soil is 200kN/m^2. Concrete grade 25. Steel Grade 400Y
a) Check the area of the footing.
B) Determine the area of tension steel reinforcement for bending and choose a suitable diameter for the steel reinforcement.
c) Check the beam shear
d) Check the punching shear.
NOTE: I have the answers, but have no idea how to arrive at them!
Thanks for your time in advance.
