Design of Combined Footing
1. Introduction
Footings are structural members used to support columns and walls and to transmit and
distribute their loads to the soil in such a way that the load bearing capacity of the soil is
not exceeded, excessive settlement, differential settlement, or rotation are prevented
and adequate safety against overturning or sliding is maintained. The footing that
supports two or more columns is called as Combined Footing.
2. Need for Combined Footing
The combined footing is mainly provided in following circumstances,
a. When the foundation of the two columns is overlapped i.e. the distance between the
columns is very less.
b. When the safe bearing capacity of soil is too low.
c. When the exterior column is near about the property line.
3. Types of Combined Footing
2. Slab and beam type

Miss. Shinde B.M. (Asst. Prof. Civil Engg. Dept. Sanjivaini College of Engineering, Kopargaon)
The slab type of combined footing is provided into two shapes, rectangular and
trapezoidal as,
Rectangular Combined Footing Trapezoidal Combined Footing
4. Forces acting on Combined Footing
Longitudinally, the footing acts as an upward loaded beam spanning between
columns and cantilevering beyond.
Using statics, the shear force and bending moment diagrams in the longitudinal
direction are drawn.
The footing is also subjected to transverse bending
3. Design of Combined Footing 2018
Miss. Shinde B.M. (Asst. Prof. Civil Engg. Dept. Sanjivaini College of Engineering, Kopargaon)
In case of combined footing ,due to two point loading of columns it is get divided into three parts
along the longitudinal side, cantilever along the sides of columns A and B and middle portion
between column AB. The sagging bending moment is occurred in cantilever side which develops
tension along bottom face of footing and hogging bending moment is occurred along middle
portion of column A & B which develops tension along top face of footing. Hence with respect
to the tension developed the main reinforcement is provided in combined footing as shown in
above fig. as,
Cantilever side of column A & B – Bottom Face
In between of Column A & B – Top face.
Also along the transverse direction the transverse bending moment is occurred below the column
A & B hence the transverse reinforcement is provided below the columns at bottom face.
Design of Slab type Rectangular Combined Footing
Design Parameters and Steps:
1. Find out the area of footing (Af) and decide the dimensions of footing (Lf X Bf )

2. Find out the offset distances as shown in fig. by using that the center of load and the centre of
footing is coincide, so that the uniform upward pressure from soil over the entire area.

3. Find the depth of footing
Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram and find the sagging and hogging bending
moment below column A & B and between Column AB respectively. Then for the maximum
bending moment find the depth.
4. Check the depth for two way shear.

5. Find the area of reinforcement for sagging and hogging bending moment in longitudinal direction
and provide along tension face. Further apply the development length check as per IS 456-2000,
and curtail the reinforcement.

6. Find the transverse reinforcement below the column A & B. The transverse action of the footing
is occurring on width of (b+2d) called bandwidth, where b-is the width of column and d- is the
depth of footing.
7. Check for one way shear and if it is unsafe provide the shear reinforcement as per IS 456-2000.
8. Draw the sections along the longitudinal and transverse direction and show the reinforcement
details.
Example 1
Design a reinforced concrete combined rectangular footing for two columns A & B
carrying working loads 450KN & 650KN respectively. Column A is 300mm x 300mm
and column B is 300mm x 400mm size. The center to center distance of column is 3.5m.
Safe bearing capacity of soil is 180KN/m2
Use M20 and Fe415 materials. Draw all
details of reinforcement.
