DESIGN OF SINGLE ISOLATED RECTANGULAR FOOTING (S.I. UNIT)
Insert fc' = 24 Mpa
Insert fy = 420 Mpa
Insert the concrete density = 2400 Kg/m³
Insert one of columns side dimensions c1 = 20 cm
Insert other columns side dimensions c2 = 100 cm
Insert one of footings side dimensions B = 2.1 m
Insert axial ultimate load (Kg) = 225000 Kg
Axial service load (Unfactored = Ultimate load / 1.5) = 150000 Kg
Insert base of footing below the final grade (in meter) = 2.8 m
Insert the allowable soil pressure q(all.) = 3 Kg/cm²
Insert Soil density = 1600 Kg/m³
Effective Soil Pressure
Assume total depth of footing = 0.5 m
Therefore, the weight of footing = 1200 Kg/m²
Weight of soil on top of the footing
Soil densityxSoil height above = 3680 Kg/m²
Effective Soil Pressure = 25120 Kg/m²
Area of the footing
Area of the footing = Serface Load / Effective soil pressure
Area of the footing = 5.971338 m²
Then side of footing = 2.843494 m Take L = 2.9 m
Net upward pressure
qu = Ultimate load / Area of footing
qu = 37680 Kg/m²
Depth due to 2-way shear
Assume bar No. = 14
Then bar diameter = 13.76 mm
Insert footing cover = 7.5 cm
Then, d = 411.24 mm
bo = 4044.96 mm
Vu2 = Pu - qu(c1+d)(c2+d)
Vu2 = 192497 Kg
Effective depth for 2-way shear = Largest from d1 & d2
Bc = 1.380952 ratio of long to short side of footing
d1 = Vu2 / (0.33x0.85xSQRT(fc')xbo) when Bc<2
d1 = 12Vu2 / (0.85(2+4/Bc)xSQRT(fc')xbo) when Bc>2
d2 = 12Vu2 / (0.85x((αsxd/bo)+2)xSQRT(fc')xbo)
αs = 40 for interior columns, 30 for edge columns & 20 for corner columns
Insert αs = 40
d1 = 346.3149 mm
d2 = 226.0552 mm d (req.) = 346.3149 mm

Depth due to 1-way shear
Distance from edge of footing = 0.53876 m
Vu1 = 42631 Kg for short direction = 58871.38 Kg
Depth of 1-way shear d = Vu1 / (0.85x0.17xSQRT(fc')xb)
d(req.) = 396.0149 mm
Controlling depth, d = 411.24 mm
Design steel reinforcement in the longitudinal direction
The critical section is at the face of the support.
Distance from the edge of footing = (L/2 - c/2)
L/2 - C/2 = 0.95 m
Mu = 0.5 x qu x (L/2-c/2)^2 xb = 35706.51 Kg.m
Ru = Mu / (b x d^2) = 100539.7 Kg/m²
ρ = (0.85fc'/fy)x(1-SQRT(1-(2Ru/(0.85x0.85fc')))) = 0.002903
As = ρ x b x d = 2507.033 mm²
[Shrinkage] As(min.) = 0.0018 x b x h = 1890 mm²
[Flexure] As(min.) = 0.0033 x b x h = 2849.893 mm²
Then As = 2507.033 mm²
Insert Bar No. = 14
Then bar diameter = 13.76 mm
Use 17 of Bar No. 14 Spacing = 12.1875 cm
Design steel reinforcement in the short direction
L/2 - C/2 = 0.95 m
Mu = 49308.99 Kg.m
Ru = 100539.7 Kg/m²
Row = 0.002903
As = 3462.093 mm²
[Shrinkage] As(min.)= 2610 mm²
[Flexure] As(min.) = 4785 mm²
Then, As= 3462.093 mm²
Insert Bar No. = 14
Then bar diameter = 13.76 mm
Use 24 of Bar No. 14 Spacing = 8.478261 cm
Checking Bearing Stress
a) Bearing strength N1 @ the base of column
N1 = 0.7x0.85xfc'xA1 Where A1 = area of the column
N1 = 285600 Kg
b) Bearing strength N2 @ the top of footing
N2 = N1 x SQRT(A2/A1) <= 2N1 Where A2 = area of the footing
SQRT(A2/A1) = 5.518152
Then N2 = 571200 Kg
Pu should be greater than N1 for bearing stress to be adequated
Checking: Bearing stress is adequate
