Question
A 3.2 m square footing is proposed to be used to support a 373 mm x 605 mm
RC column loaded with 637 kN dead load and 856 kN live load. The bottom of
the footing is 1.7 m below the ground. Assume soil weighs 19 kN/m3 and the
allowable soil bearing pressure is 343 kPa. The thickness of the footing is 464
mm. fc = 21 MPa and fy = 420 MPa. It is to be reinforced with 20 mm
diameter. Use 24 kN/m³ as the unit weight of concrete.
Note: For two-way shear, use an effective depth measured from the top of the
footing until the top of the bottom-most bar (d3)
What is the ratio of the Demand Shear Force and the Capacity in Two Way
Shear? (Vu/phiVn)
