Design a reinforced concrete wall footing to carry a 10 in thick reinforced concrete wall. Service loads are 6 kips/ft dead load and 15 kips/ft live load. The allowable soil pressure is 2 tons per sf. Assume that the bottom of the footing is to be 8.5 feet below grade and the weight of the soil can be assume to be 110 PCF. Assume that the steel is uncoated and the soil pressuregiven is gross allowable soil pressure. Use fy = 60 ksi for the steel.
