Refer to the reinforced concrete floor plan of an office building shown in Figure 1 . The reinforced concrete column (C1) is supported on a reinforced concrete spread footing (F1) founded on soil as shown in Figure 2 (cross-section A-A of the floor plan). The design information of the footing is given below: Design Parameters: - Characteristics strength, $f_c^{\prime }=32\mathrm{MPa}$ - Column cross section $=350\mathrm{mm}\times 350\mathrm{mm}$ - Beam cross section $=350\mathrm{mm}\times 600\mathrm{mm}$ - Allowable soil bearing capacity $\left(q_a\right)=150\mathrm{kPa}$ - Footing $=0.8\mathrm{m}\times 0.8\mathrm{m}\times 0.5\mathrm{m}$ (deep) - Yield strength of steel reinforcement $\left({\mathrm{f}}_{5y}\right)=500\mathrm{MPa}$ - Specific weight of concrete $(\gamma )$ is $24.6\mathrm{kN}/{\mathrm{m}}^3$. - Adopt N20 bars for main reinforcement - Clear cover $=70\mathrm{mm}$. - Minimum reinforcement requirement, ${\rho }_{\min }$ (two way slab) $=\rho$. - Live load on slab, $Q=3\mathrm{kPa}$ - Carry over moment $=50\%$ of distributed moment Figure 1: Reinforced concrete floor plan Figure 2: Cross section A-A of the floor plan (Figure 1) If the effects of any moments in the column and the self-weight of the footing are to be ignored: Determine applied bearing pressure at ultimate load $\left({\mathrm{q}}_{\mathrm{u}}\right)$ for footing $\mathrm{F}1$.
