This comprehensive guide covers the design of isolated footings according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1:2015) standards. Includes step-by-step calculation procedures, design checks for bearing pressure, punching shear, bending, and reinforcement detailing. Perfect for civil and structural engineering students or professionals needing a clear and practical approach to foundation design. Features detailed examples with annotated formulas and compliant structural diagrams.

An internal column transferring the loads given in table 1 is considered for isolated footing design. The material to be used for are C25/30 and S400. If the column size is 600mm by 600 mm. and the soil has presumptive bearing capacity of 280 Kpa(Allowable), determine the size and reinforcement necessary for the isolated footing to safely transfer the load.

Figure 1 Stress distribution on isolated footing with eccentric loading.
Any plan dimension of footing, B and L, must satisfy two things:
a)The maximum stress must be less than or equal to the allowable bearing capacity.
b)The minimum stress must be greater than zero.
Condition a) Since the eccentricity is relatively equal in both axis’s, a square footing is ideal.

Wide beam shear
According to ES EN 1992-1-1:2015, Article 6.2.1(8) the Critical section for shear is at distance d
from the face of supports.

Wide beam shear resistance (the design value of shear resistance for members not requiring shear reinforcements) is given by:
Vrd,c = [Crd,c𝑘(100ρ 1 fck) 1 3 ] bwd [ES EN 1992 −1 −1: 2015, Eqn. 6.2 a]
