ABSTRACT
Example 14.5 The end column along a property line is connected to an interior column by a trapezoidal footing. The following data are given with reference to Fig. 14.3(b):
Column Loads: QI = 2016 kN, Q2 = 1560 kN. Size of columns: 0.46 x 0.46 m. Lc =5.48 m. Determine the dimensions a and b of the trapezoidal footing. The net allowable bearing
pressure qna =190 kPa.
