Chapter 5 Footing Design - Engineering
1 Chapter 5 Footing Design By S. Ali Mirza1 and William Brant2 Introduction Reinforced concrete foundations, or footings, transmit loads from a structure to the supporting soil. Footings are designed based on the nature of the loading, the properties of the Footing and the properties of the soil. Design of a Footing typically consists of the following steps: 1. Determine the requirements for the Footing , including the loading and the nature of the supported structure. 2. Select options for the Footing and determine the necessary soils parameters.
2. Apply load factors in accordance with Chapter 9 of ACI 318-05. 3. Determine whether the footing or pile cap will be considered as spanning one-way or two-ways. 4. Confirm the thickness of the footing or pile cap by comparing the shear capacity of the concrete section to the factored shear load. ACI 318-05 Chapter 15 provides guidance on ...
