Design Example 5: Pad base axial load plus bending moment

(small eccentricity).
Twittear Me gusta 17

A column pad base is subject to an

axial load of 200 kN (dead) plus 300
kN (imposed), and a bending
moment of 40 kNm. To suit site
constraints, the base is limited to a
length of L = 1.8 m.

Load eccentricity
When moments act on a foundation,

it is normal to replace them by
positioning the vertical load at an
Google Cloud equivalent eccentricity. The
resultant vertical superstructure load
Google Cloud Platform is
Google Cloud Platform
P=G+Q
= 200 + 300
= 500 kN

Q as a percentage of P is 100Q/P = (100 300)/500 = 60%.

From "Fig. 11.22 Combined partial safety factor for dead + imposed loads", the combined
partial factor for superstructure loads is P = 1.52.
The resultant eccentricity is given by

pressure of na = 300 kN/m2 ; the width of B = 1.2 m is therefore satisfactory.

Resultant ultimate design pressures Powered by Blogger.

Since the base is fully in compression, ultimate design pressures, pu, are obtained by
simply factoring up these pressures using the combined partial safety factor P. Entradas populares
