Quiz 1:
Isolated Footing
Direction: Analyze the problem carefully. Use NSCP 2010 Code. Show your solution
completely and neatly. Summarize your answers after presenting the solution.
Problem 1: A 300–mm diameter circular column caries a total live load of PLL = 900 kN and
a total dead load PDL = (300 + I. D. No./10) kN. The column is to be supported by a
rectangular spread footing whose bottom is 2 m below the ground surface. Allowable soil
bearing capacity at the base of the footing is 230 kPa. Unit weight of soil above footing is 16
kN/m3 and unit weight of concrete is 24 kN/m3. Assume f’c = 32 MPa and fy = 300 MPa.
Assume thickness of footing to be 750 mm, determine the effective soil bearing capacity of
the soil in kPa. Determine the following:
