Design of Foundation - Depth of Foundation = 2m

Max Projection = (6-5/2) = 0.5 m

Max B. M. = ( 453 x 0.5 ^2) / 2 = 57 kNm /m

Ast reqd = 57 x 10^6 / (230 x 0.9 x1925) = 142 mm2

Provide 16mm @ 200mm c/c B / W.

Shear Check - Critical section for shear is taken at d distance from face of Foundation
block. The available offset is less than d distance.

Bending stress check -

a) At 5m from Bottom of block -

Moment = 167 x 10 + 2774 = 4444 kNm

f = M/Z = 4444 x 10^6 x 6 /(3000x4000^2) 0.56 < 2 N/mm2

a) At 2.5m from Bottom of block -

Moment = 167 x 13 + 2774 = 4945 kNm

f = M/Z = 4945 x 10^6 x 6 /(4000x5000^2) 0.30 < 2 N/mm2

The Bending Tension stress in concrete is within permissible limit , so provide Min reinforcement.

Provide 16mm @ 150 mm c/c as surface reinforcement.
