Investigate the adequacy of the square footing. The column has dimension of 500 mm x 500 mm and carries an axial load of 1210 KN dead load and 650 KN live load. Allowable soil pressure is 240 Kpa. There is 0.7 m height of soil having a unit weight of 15.74 KN/m3, fc’ = 20.7 Mpa, fy = 276.5 Mpa. The footing section is 2.8 m x 2.8 m with a 600 mm thickness. Use 25 mm diameter main bars.
