The intensity of loading that the soil carries without causing shear failure and without causing excessive settlement is called allowable bearing capacity of soil, denoted by qa ..ppt
FOOTINGS
Footings are structural elements that transmit column or wall loads to
the underlying soil below the structure. Footings are designed to
transmit these loads to the soil without exceeding its safe bearing
capacity, to prevent excessive settlement of the structure to a
tolerable limit, to minimize differential settlement, and to prevent
sliding and overturning. The settlement depends upon the intensity of
the load, type of soil, and foundation level. Where possibility of
differential settlement occurs, the different footings should be
designed in such away to settle independently of each other.
Introduction
Introduction
Footing Types
The type of footing chosen for a particular structure
is affected by the following:
1. The bearing capacity of the underlying soil.
2. The magnitude of the column loads.
3. The position of the water table.
4. The depth of foundations of adjacent buildings.
Footings may be classified as deep or shallow. If depth
of the footing is equal to or greater than its width, it is
called deep footing, otherwise it is called shallow
footing. Shallow footings comprise the following types:

Allowable Bearing capacity of Soil
Allowable Bearing capacity of Soil
The intensity of loading that the soil carries without causing shear
failure and without causing excessive settlement is called allowable
bearing capacity of soil, denoted by qa . It should be noted that qa is
a service load stress. The allowable bearing capacity of soil is
obtained by dividing the ultimate bearing capacity of soil by a factor
of safety on the order of 2.50 to 3.0.
The allowable soil pressure for soil may be either gross or net
pressure permitted on the soil directly under the base of the footing.
The gross pressure represents the total stress in the soil created by
all the loads above the base of the footing. These loads include: (a)
column service loads; (b) the weight of the footing; and (c) the
weight of the soil on the top of the footing, or
For moment and shear calculations, the upward and downward
pressures of the footing mass and the soil mass get cancelled.
Thus, a net soil pressure is used instead of the gross pressure
value, or
The next figure shows schematic representation of
allowable gross and net soil pressures.

(b) net soil pressure
Design of Isolated Footings
Design of Isolated Footings
Design of isolated rectangular footings is detailed in the
following steps.
1- Select a trial footing depth.
According to ACI Code 15.7, depth of footing above
reinforcement is not to be less than 15 cm for footings on soil.
Noting that 7.5 cm of clear concrete cover is required if
concrete is cast against soil, a practical minimum depth is
taken as 25 cm.
2- Establish the required base area of the footing.
The allowable net soil pressure is
where hc is assumed footing depth, df is distance from ground surface to
the contact surface between footing base and soil, γc is weight density of
concrete, and γs is weight density of soil on top of footing.
Based on ACI Code 15.2.2, base area of footing is determined from
unfactored forces and moments transmitted by footing to soil and the
allowable soil pressure evaluated through principles of soil mechanics.
The required base area of the footing is obtained by dividing the column
service loads by the allowable net soil pressure of the soil, or
where PD and PL are column service dead and live loads respectively.
Select appropriate L, and B values, if possible, use a square footing to
achieve greatest economy.
3- Evaluate the net factored soil pressure.
Evaluate the net factored soil pressure by dividing the factored column
loads by the chosen footing area, or
4- Check footing thickness for punching shear.
Since large soil pressures are present under footings, high shear stresses
are produced and since shear reinforcement is not normally used, shear
rather than moment commonly determines the minimum required depth
of footing. The depth of the footing must be set so that the shear
capacity of the concrete equals or exceeds the critical shear forces
produced by factored loads.
As discussed, the critical section for punching shear is located
at distance d / 2 from column faces and usually takes the
shape of the column. Footing thickness is adequate for
resisting punching shear once Vu ≤ ΦVc
The critical punching shear force can be evaluated using one
of the two following methods:
where C1 and C2 are column cross sectional dimensions,
shown in Figure.

punching and beam shears
(square footings)
Critical sections for punching and
beam shears
(rectangular footings)
The intensity of loading that the soil carries without causing shear failure and without causing excessive settlement is called allowable bearing capacity of soil, denoted by qa ..ppt
Increase footing thickness if additional shear strength is required.
5- Check footing thickness for beam shear in each direction.
If Vu ≤ ΦVc, thickness will be adequate for resisting beam shear without
using shear reinforcement. The critical section for beam shear is located at
distance d from column faces.
a- In the short direction:
The factored shear force is given by
The factored shearing force resisted by concrete is given as
b- In the long direction:
The factored shear force is given by
The factored shearing force resisted by concrete is given as
Increase footing thickness if necessary until the
condition u C V ≤ ΦV is satisfied.
6- Compute the area of flexural reinforcement in each
direction.
The critical section for bending is located at face of column, or wall,
for footings supporting a concrete column or wall, as specified by ACI
Code 15.4.2.
The intensity of loading that the soil carries without causing shear failure and without causing excessive settlement is called allowable bearing capacity of soil, denoted by qa ..ppt
Critical section for moment (a)
concrete column or wall;
(b) masonry wall; (c) column with
steel base plate
The reinforcement ratio is calculated based on rectangular section design,
where the minimum reinforcement ratio min ρ is not to be less than 0.0018.
Flexural reinforcement; (a) square
footing; (b) rectangular footing
7- Check for bearing strength of column and footing concrete.
All forces applied at the base of a column or wall must be transferred to the
footing by bearing on concrete and/or by reinforcement. Tensile forces must
be resisted entirely by the reinforcement. Bearing on concrete for column and
footing must not exceed the concrete bearing strength.
The joint could fail by crushing of the concrete at the bottom of the column
where the column bars are no longer effective or by crushing the concrete in
the footing under the column.
For a supported column, the bearing capacity ΦPn is
The intensity of loading that the soil carries without causing shear failure and without causing excessive settlement is called allowable bearing capacity of soil, denoted by qa ..ppt
A = area of the lower base of the largest frustum of a pyramid, cone, or tapered
wedge contained wholly within the footing and having for its upper base the
loaded area, and having side slopes of 1 vertical to 2 horizontal.
When bearing strength is exceeded, reinforcement in the form of dowel bars
must be provided to transfer the excess load. A minimum area of reinforcement
must be provided across the interface of column or wall and footing, even
where concrete bearing strength is not exceeded.
For columns, minimum dowel reinforcement is given by ACI Code 15.8.2.1
as
where Ag = column gross cross-sectional area Required dowel
reinforcement is given by
8- Check for anchorage of the reinforcement.
Both flexural and dowel reinforcement lengths are checked for
anchorage to prevent bond failure of the dowels in the footing and to
prevent failure of the lap splices between the dowels and the column
bars, as shown.
Anchorage of reinforcement
