Design data
• Fy=50,000 psi (Steel)
• Dead Load =55 psf
• Live Load 50 psf (Commercial Office building - 2nd Floor -)
• Assume the weight of the floor beams and girders is included
in the Dead Load above.
a) Calculate the beam loading.

Answer:
II.
Determine Footing Size
Calculate the Minimum Square footing size for the given column
loads. Size the
footing
to the nearest 6 inches (e.g. 1’-6” x 1’-6”).
• Dead Load=50,000 lbs
• Live Load =65,000 lbs
• Assume thickness of footing 12”
• Weight of Concrete 150 lb/ft3
• Allowable Soil Bearing Capacity = 2,500 lb/ft2
Include the weight of the footing in your
calculations.
