DESIGN OF RC ELEMENTS

1.Design a rectangular footing for a column 300*550mm.the column

is subjected to a axial (factored) load 1750 kn. the SBC of soil is 200
kn/m2.sketch detail.
Step no:01
Given data
Column size =300*550mm
Factored load=1750 kn
SBC

=200kn/m2

self wt 10%= 175 kn

M20 & Fe 415 steel.

Step no:02

=6.42 M2

Assume 7m2 as area of footing

By size of column
Side can be calculated
(3x)*(5.5x) =7m2

(s.s*l.s) i.e(3:5.5)

X2 (16.5) =7m2
X = 0.65
3 x=0.653=1.95 m 2m
5 x=5.50.65=3.57 3.5 m

Hence section provided is safe.

Step no:04
Cantilever projection on footing
Shorter side = 3.5/2 -0.55/2 =1.475 m
Longer side =2/2 -0.3/2 =0.85 m

B.ML =pu.LL2/2 =250*0.852/2 = 90.31 knm

Pu = 250 kn/m 250 N/mm.

VUL =250 (1475-d).
As per code IS 456-2000 table No:19
c = VUL/bd .

360d = 368.75*103 - 250d

510d = 36.75*103
D = 723 mm
Adopt eff.depth (d) = 750 mm.
D = 50 mm
Overall depth (D) = 800 mm

For shorter side.

Mu = 271.95*106 Nmm.
Fy = 415 N/mm2
fck = 20 N/mm2
D = 750 mm

Provide 12 mm dia @ 100mm c/c

Ast,p = 1131 mm2
Step no:07
Check for shear stress
v = Vu/bd
Max. shear will be @ a distance d from face of column.
v =

250 (1475750)
(1000750)

= 0.24 N/mm2.

Pt = 100Ast/bd = (100*1149)/(1000*750) =0.21 %.

c value is o.33 N/mm2 & k value
Clause 40.2.1.1
k =1
2
k.c = 0.33 N/mm
v < k.c
Hence safe.
