Question
A 3.4 m square footing is proposed to be used to support a 353 mm x 630
mm RC column loaded with 634 kN dead load and 853 kN live load. The
bottom of the footing is 2.3 m below the ground. Assume soil weighs 19
kN/m³ and the allowable soil bearing pressure is 314 kPa. The thickness of
the footing is 431 mm. f = 21 MPa and f = 420 MPa. It is to be reinforced
with 20 mm diameter. Use 24 kN/m³ as the unit weight of concrete.
Note: For two-way shear, use an effective depth measured from the top of
the footing until the top of the bottom-most bar (d;)
What is the ratio of the Demand Shear Force and the Capacity in Two Way
Shear? (Vu/phiVn)
