Architect Designed: b
Post Footing BP19
POST FOOTING V5.01 Demo User

Geometry: (Post Footing BP19) 450mm dia., 1000mm socket

Soil: γ = 18kN/m³, ø = 30°, Cohesion = 250kPa
Resistance: Bearing = 451kPa < 458kPa, Max bearing = 901kPa< 920kPa OK (0.98)

Loadings & Footing Parameters - Signboards to resist wind loads (Don Ivey & Leon Hawkins)

Overturn. moment (M) = 5.0 kNm

Lateral load (P) = 10.0 kN
Load height (e) = 670 mm
Total Socket (d) = 1000 mm
Ignore top (ig) = 300 mm
Diameter (dia) = 450 mm

Internal Friction (ø) = 30 ° (0° ≤ ø ≤ 45°)

Cohesion (C) = 250 kPa
Soil weight (γ) = 18.0 kN/m³
Nø = Tan²(45° + ø/2) = 3.000

Design depth (D=d-ig) = 700 mm Note: Overturning moment (M) and Lateral load (P) * Load height (e) are additive

Allowable pressures

a= 0.680 (Assumed position)

Peq = (P*lever+Mo)/lever = 13.5 kNm acting at e = 670mm (lever =1446mm)
Force (Q1) = 55.4 kN at 538 mm (Moments @ Q2)
Ave BP (S1) = 258.8 kPa at 538 mm
Force (Q2) = 45.4 kN at 925 mm
Ave BP (S2) = 450.7 kPa at 925 mm
Max BP (SL = 2*S2) = 901.4 kPa at 1000 mm
