ASSIGNMENT NO.

3 THE DESIGN OF AN ISOLATED FOOTING

Input data:

Design an isolated footing1 for a reinforced concrete column of an industrial building. The design values of the loads
(Pd vertical force, Hd horizontal force, Md bending moment) acting on the column, at the ground level are the
following:

Characteristic combination:
Pd,1 = (400 + 15 Ua + 4 Gr + 20 Ns) [kN]
Hd,1 = (5 + 0.5 Gr + 0.5 Ns) [kN]
Md,1 = (30 + 5 Gr + 2 Ns) [kNm]

Fundamental combination:
Pd,f = (550 + 20 Ua + 5 Gr + 25 Ns) [kN]
Hd,f = (4 + 2 Gr + 0.5 Ns) [kN]
Md,f = (40 + 5 Gr + 5 Ns) [kNm]

Seismic combination:
Pd,s = (400 + 10 Ua + 5 Gr + 20 Ns) [kN]
Hd,s = (70 + 1 Gr + 5 Ns) [kN]
Md,s = (300 + 10 Ua + 10 Gr + 25 Ns) [kNm]

where
Ns student number, Gr group number, Ua the last digit of the year when the project is turned in (7)

The soil description is given in the borehole log number [ ] + 1, where [x] means greater integer less or equal to x.
