If Au is zero, there is no uplift and no pressure adjustment is necessary. Otherwise, to account for uplift,
areas of negative pressure will be set to zero and the pressure will be redistributed to remaining corners.

Check that 0.75 X Vc > Vux where Vux is the shear force for the critical load cases at a distance deff from the
face of the column caused by bending about the X axis.
Along Z Direction
Check that 0.75 X Vc > Vuz where Vuz is the shear force for the critical load cases at a distance deff from

the face of the column caused by bending about the Z axis.

From above calculations, 0.75 X Vc = 311.219 kN
Critical load case for Vuz is # 3 90.931 kN
0.75 X Vc > Vuz hence, OK
Calculate the flexural reinforcement along the X direction of the footing. Find the area of steel required, A,
as per Section 3.8 of Reinforced Concrete Design (5th ed.) by Salmon and Wang (Ref. 1)
The strength values of steel and concrete used in the formulae are in ksi
Required = 0.00150
Since OK
Because the number of bars is rounded up, make sure new reinforcement ratio < ρmax
Total reinforcement area, As_total = Nbar X (Area of one bar) = 1809.577 mm2
deff = D - Ccover - 0.5 X (dia. of one bar) = 0.292 m Page |

Bending moment for uplift cases will be calculated based solely on selfweight, soil depth and surcharge
loading.
As the footing size has already been determined based on all servicebility load cases, and design moment
calculation is based on selfweight, soil depth and surcharge only, top reinforcement value for all pure uplift
load cases will be the same.
