Design and analysis of isolated column circular

Design and analysis of isolated column circular footing (eccentrically loaded).
Footings Subject to Eccentric Loading
Footings are often subjected to lateral loads or overturning moments, in addition to vertical
loads. These types of loads are typically seismic or wind loads.
Lateral loads or overturning moments result in a non-uniform soil bearing pressure under the
footing, where the soil bearing pressure is larger on one side of the footing than the other. Non-
uniform soil bearing can also be caused by a foundation pedestal not being located at the
footing center of gravity.
If the lateral loads and overturning moments are small in proportion to the vertical loads, then
the entire bottom of the footing is in compression and a P/A ± M/S type of analysis is
appropriate for calculating the soil bearing pressures, where the various parameters are defined
as follows:
P = The total vertical load, including any applied loads along with the weight of all of the
components of the foundation, and also including the weight of the soil located directly above
the footing.
A = The area of the bottom of the footing.
M = The total overturning moment measured at the bottom of the footing, including horizontal
loads times the vertical distance from the load application location to the bottom of the footing
plus any overturning moments.
S = The section modulus of the bottom of the footing.
If M/S exceeds P/A, then P/A - M/S results in tension, which is generally not possible at
the footing/soil interface. This interface is generally only able to transmit compression,
not tension. A different method of analysis is required when M/S exceeds P/A.
Following are the typical steps for calculating bearing pressures for a footing, when non-
uniform bearing pressures are present. These steps are based on a footing that is rectangular in
shape when measured in plan and assumes that the lateral loads or overturning moments are
parallel to one of the principal footing axes. These steps should be completed for as many load
combinations as required to confirm compliance with applicable design criteria. For instance,
the load combination with the maximum downward vertical load often causes the maximum
bearing pressure while the load combination with the minimum downward vertical load often
causes the minimum stability.
PROCEDURE FOR ANALYSIS.
4. Determine whether P/A exceeds M/S. This can be done by calculating and comparing
P/A and M/S or is typically completed by calculating the eccentricity, which equals M
divided by P. If e exceeds the footing length divided by 6, then M/S exceed P/A.
5. If P/A exceeds M/S, then the maximum bearing pressure equals P/A + M/S and
the minimum bearing pressure equals P/A-M/S.
6. If P/A is less than M/S, then the soil bearing pressure is as shown in Fig. 5-1. Such a soil
bearing pressure distribution would normally be considered undesirable because it makes
the footing structurally ineffective. The maximum bearing pressure, shown in the figure,
is calculated as follows:
Maximum Bearing pressure = 2 P / [(B) (X)]
Where X = 3(L/2 - e) and e = M / P

Various pressure distributions for rectangular footings are shown in Fig. 7.9.
Figure a
If the load acts through the kern point (Fig.C), 𝑞 = 0 at one side and 𝑞 = 2𝑞 at
the other.
If the load falls outside the kern point, the resultant upward load is equal and
opposite to the resultant downward load, as shown in Fig. 7-9 d. Generally, such a
pressure distribution would not be acceptable, because it makes inefficient use of
the footing concrete, tends to overload the soil, and may cause the structure to
tilt.

mm) column that is carry the following loads

Solution:
- Assume the soil pressure distribution at the base of the footing is horizontal.

It is conservative to assume that the maximum factored soil pressure of (231.5 kN/m2)
acts on the entire shaded region. Thus, the factored shear force to be resisted at the
critical section is:
