DESIGN OF FOOTING(ISOLATED MAT)

1.DATA:
Pu = 1500 KN
column size
b= 300 mm
D= 500 mm
p= 185 KN/m2
fck = 20 KN/mm2
fy = 415 KN/mm2

2.SIZE OF FOOTING:

Load of column= 1500 KN

self weight of footing (10%)= 150 KN
total factored load=Wu = 1650 KN

footing area = Wu /(1.5*p) = 5.95 m

2

proportion the footing area in the same proportion as the sides of the column.
hence (b/100)x * (D/100)x = footing area

x= 0.63

short side = 1.89

long side = 3.15

adopt size of footing

x= 2m
y= 3m

factored soil pressure at base is computed as :

pu = Pu/(x*y) = 250 <(1.5*p)= 277.5

hence the footing area is adequate since the soil pressure developed at
the base is less than the factored bearing capacity of the soil

3.FACTORED BENDING MOMENT:

cantilver projection from the short side face of the column a =

cantilver projection from the long side face of the column =
 bending moment at short side face of column is (0.5*p u*L2)=
bending moment at long side face of column is (0.5*p u*L2)=

4.DEPTH OF FOOTING:

From moment consideration we have :

Mu=0.138fckbd2
d= 266.02 mm

from shear strength considerations we have critical section for one way
shear is located at a distance d from the face of column

shear force per metre width (longer direction)is :

τc = 0.36
Vul = pu(a-d)N pt = 0.25
τc = (Vul/b*d )

by solving d= 512.3 mm

hence adopt d = 550 mm

overall depth D = 600 mm

5.REINFORCEMENT IN FOOTING:
Longer direction:

Mu = 0.87. fy. Ast d  f y . A stx 

 1  

Ast= 1023.6 mm

dia of bar= 16
no of bar= 5.0934369 6
Ast=
adopt 16mm dia bar at 16m dia bar at 160mm centres

shorter direction:

by solving Ast = 463.1

ratio of long to short side=β= 1.5
reinforcement in central band width of short span
 (y/(β+1)2Ast= 740.99
minimum reinforcement=0.0012*b*D= 1440 > 740.99
dia of bar= 12
no f bar= 7 =7nos
hence provide 12mm diameter bars at 150mm centres

6.CHECK FOR SHEAR STRESS:

The sritical section for one way shear is located at a distance d from the
face of the column .
Ultimate shear force per metre width in the longer direction is:
Vu=Pu*0.7= 175
100Ast/bd= 0.22
refer table 19 of IS 456-2000
ks= 1
τc= 0.33
ks*τc = 0.33 N/mm2
nominal shear stress = τv= Vu/bd= 0.32 N/mm
2

since τv<ks*τc shear stresses are within the safe permissible limits.
