Concrete Foundation Design Parameters

This document provides design parameters and calculations for the reinforcement of a concrete foundation section subject to flexural stresses. It specifies the concrete strength, steel yield strength, cover, section dimensions, reinforcement amounts and layout. Calculations are shown to determine the neutral axis depth, transformed section properties, tensile steel stress, and check the reinforcement spacing and amounts against code requirements for service limit state flexure, cracking control, and minimum temperature/shrinkage reinforcement. The provided reinforcement layout and amounts are found to satisfy all check criteria.

The transformed moment of inertia is calculated assuming elastic behavior, i.e., linear stress and strain
distribution. In this case, the first moment of area of the transformed steel on the tension side about the
neutral axis is assumed equal to that of

Assume the neutral axis at a distance "y" from the compression face of the section.
Transformed steel area = (bar area)(modular ratio) 11936.7 mm2
By equating the first moment of area of the transformed steel about that of the concrete, both about the
neutral axis: Ast(d-y)=1000y(y/2)
