Bearing-Capacity

A square footing for a column carries a total Load (including self-weight of footing) of 1760 KN. The safe bearing capacity of soil is 200 kN/m². Using M 20 grade concrete and Fe415 steel, area of footing (rounded to nearest integer) will be

9 m² 2 m² 25 m² 16 m²

Concept:

The area of footing (A_f) is given by

$A_{f} = \frac{T o t a l l o a d}{S a f e b e a r i n g c a p a c i t y}$

Calculation:

Given:

Total load = 1750 kN, Safe bearing capacity = 200 kN/m²

$A_{f} = \frac{T o t a l l o a d}{S a f e b e a r i n g c a p a c i t y}$

$A_{f} = \frac{1760}{200} = 8.8 m^{2} \approx 9 m^{2}$
