From the symmetrical arrangement of the loads, it is quite obvious that the

centroid will pass through

the middle column, hence, soil pressure can be assumed to be uniform under the
whole length of the
footing.
1.2 Design Data
Concrete cover = 50mm; Fy = 460 N/mm2; Fyv = 460 N/mm2; Fcu = 30 N/mm2
Dimension of all columns = (500 � 300 mm); Bearing Capacity = 380 KN/m2
Total Ultimate Limit State (ULS) Load = 2(1680.3) + 5(3081.075) = 18765.975 KN
Axial load conversion factor to Serviceability Limit State (SLS) ?? = 1.45
NSLS = ??????????.??????
??.???? = 12942.05 KN
Assume 12% of service load to be the self weight of the footing
SW = ????

Taking a 36.3m long base, the width B = ????.????
????.?? = 1.051 m
Provide a 1.1 m x 36.3m x 1.1m (trial depth) base (Aprov = 39.93 m2)

1.3 Design of the slab (per meter strip)
Bending moment on the slab is maximum at the face of the column (in this case at
the face of the
upstand beams) (clause 3.11.2.2 BS 8110-1:1997)
Width of the beam = 500mm = 0.5m
Hence, Moment arm (jxx) = ??.?? ?? ??.??
?? = 0.30 m
Assume depth of slab h = 300mm; concrete cover = 50mm and assuming that Y12mm bars
will be
used at the slab;
Hence, the effective depth (d) = 300 � 50 - (12/2) = 244mm
The design moment Mx-x = ?? � ????????
?? = ??????.???? � ??.????
?? = 21.14 KN.m
k = ??
?????? ?? ???? = ????.???? � ??????
???? � ???????? � ???????? = 0.012; k < 0.156, no compression steel needed (clause
3.4.4.4)
Lever arm (la) = 0.5 + (0.25 � k/0.9)0.5; Hence la = 0.95
