4) Final Loads [ Service ]

Shear at ground line [Hz load] kg 320.0
kN 3.14
Axial force kN 11.82 Downward (Compression)

5) Footing data
Pole base dia m 0.31 Equal to dia of the embedded pole
Pad size m 0.31 Equal to dia of the embedded pole
Thickness of pad m 0.00 Direct embedment of pole
Exposed height above Ground line m 0.20
Foundation Depth below NSL m 2.25 Min depth of footing 1.8 m

6) Soil data
Soil Type Type B 5001kg/m2<ABC <10000kg/m2
Unit weight of Backfilled soil γ KN/m3 15.70 Where ABC means "Allowable Bearing Capacity"
Angle of internal friction φ degree 20
Coeff of passive earth pressure Kp 2.04
Net Allowable Bearing Capacity of soil kg/m2 5000
kN/m2 49.1
COMPUTATIONS
7-1)Footing Embedment depth as per IBC-2009 (1807.3.2.1)
d=0.5A (1+(1+(4.36h/A)^(1/2)))) m 2.25 < 2.25 Ok
where, A = 2.34P/S1 b 2.05 = 2.34x3.14/(11.75*0.305)
b = Diagonal dimension of square footing m 0.31
h = Distance from ground surface to point of application m 0.20
P = Applied lateral force as given above kN 3.14
S1 = Allowable lateral soil bearing pressure kN/m2 11.75 100*0.157*2.245/3

RESULT
As per IBC-2009, the minimum depth to be directly embedded required 2.25 m
