Procedure Of Isolated Rectangle Footing Design:
• Step -1: Determining size of footing:
• Loads on footing consists of load from column, self weight of footing
and weight of soil above footing. For simplicity, self weight of footing
and weight of soil on footing is considered as 10 to 15% of the
vertical load.
• EXAMPLE:
• Load on column = 1000 kN
• Extra load at 10% of load due to self weight of soil = 1000 x 10% =
100kN
• Therefore, total load P = 1100 kN.
• Size of footing to be designed can be square, rectangular or circular in
plan. Here we will consider square isolated footing.
• Therefore, length of footing (L) = Width of footing (B)
• Therefore area of footing required = Area of footing
• = 1100/300 = 3.67 m2
• Provide Length and width of footing = 2m
• Area of footing = 2 x 2 = 4m2
• Now the pressure on isolated footing is calculated as
• pressure on isolated footing
• When calculated, pmax = 325 kN/m2
• pmin = 175 kN/m2
• But pmax is greater than SBC of soil, so we need to revise
• the size of footing so that Pmax is below 300 kN/m2.
• Consider width and length of footing = L =B =2.25m
• Now, pmax = 250.21 kN/m2 (<300 kN/m2 -> OK)
• and pmin = 144.86 kN/m2 > 0 (OK)
• Hence, factored upward pressure of soil = pumax =
375.315
kN/m2
• pumin = 217.29 kN/m2
• Further, average pressure at the center of the footing is
given by Pu,avg= 296.3 kN/m2
• and, factored load, Pu= 1500 kN, factored uniaxial
moment,
Mu= 150 kN-m.
• Step 2: Two way shear
• Assume an uniform overall thickness of footing, D
=500 mm
• Assuming 16 mm diameter bars for main steel,
effective depth of footing ‘d’ is
• d = 500 – 50 – 8 = 452 mm
• The critical section for the two way shear or punching
shear occurs at a distance of d/2 from the face of the
• Isolated footing design
• Fig 1: Critical section for
Two Way Shear (Punching
Shear)
• Hence, punching area of
footing = (a + d)2 = (0.45 +
0.442)2 = 0.796 m2
• where a = b = side of
column
• Punching shear force = Factored load – (Factored average
pressure x punching area of footing)
= 1500 – (296.3 x 0.0.796)
= 1264.245 kN
• Perimeter along the critical section = 4 (a+d) = 4 (450+
442) = 3568 mm
• Therefore, nominal shear stress in punching or punching
• shear stress allowable shear stress is calculated as below:
• punching shear stress
• = 1264.245 x 1000/(3568×442)
= 0.802 N/mm2
• Allowable shear stress
=allowable shear stress
• where allowable shear stress =
1.369 N/mm2
• allowable shear stress
=allowable shear stress =1
• therefore, allowable shear
stress = 1×1.369 = 1.369
N/mm2
• Since the punching shear stress (0.802
N/mm2) is less than the allowable shear
stress (1.369 N/mm2), the assumed
thickness is sufficient to resist the
punching shear force. Hence, the
assumed thickness of footing D = 500
mm is sufficient. Please note, there is
much difference between allowable and
actual values of shear stress, so depth
of footing can be revised and reduced.
For our example, we will continue to use
D = 500mm.
• Step 3: Design for flexure:
•
• The projection of footing beyond the column face is treated as a
cantilever slab subjected to factored upward pressure of soil.
• Factored maximum upward pressure of soil, pu,max= 375.315
kN/m2
• Factored upward pressure of soil at critical section, pu= 312.1
kN/m2
• Projection of footing beyond the column face, l = (2250 – 450)/2
= 900 mm
• Bending moment at the critical section in the footing is given by:
Mu = Total force X Distance from the critical section
• Considering uniform soil pressure of 375.315, Mu = 180 kN/m2
• Design of isolated footing0.92
• Ast = pt x bxd
• considering 1m wide footing, Ast required = 1171.1 mm2/ m width
• Provide 16 dia bar @ 140mm c/c
• Repeat this exercise for other direction as well. Since, uniform base pressure is assumed, and it is
a square footing, Mu and Ast for other direction will be same.
• Step 4: Check for One-Way Shear:
• The critical section for one way shear occurs at a distance of ‘d’ from the face of the column.
• Factored maximum upward pressure of soil, pu,max= 375.315 kN/m2
• Factored upward pressure of soil at critical section, pu= 375.315 kN/m2
• Vu = Total Force X (l – d) X B
• = 375.315 X (0.9 – 0.442) X 2 = 343.8 kN
• Nominal shear stress = Vu/(Bxd) = 0.346 N/mm2
• For, pt = 0.265, and M30, allowable shear force from
Table – 19, IS456 is greater than 0.346 N/mm2
• Therefore, the foundation is safe in one-way shear.
• Step 5: Check for development length
• Sufficient development length should be available for the reinforcement from
the critical section.
• Here, the critical section considered for Ld is that of flexure.
• The development length for 16 mm diameter bars is given by
• Ld= 47xdiameter of bar = 47 x 16 = 752 mm.
• Providing 60 mm side cover, the total length available from the critical section is
• 0.5x( L – a) – 60 = 0.5x(2250 – 450) – 60 = 840 > Ld, Hence O.K.
