strip footing
strip footing
(OP)
How would you design a single strip footing,for moment and shear, which supports 2 parallel strip walls say 10 ft apart.(like a tunnel). Lateral support is provided by a slab at the top of the walls. Vertical load same on each wall. Earth pressure on exterior same for each wall.






RE: strip footing
Step 1 - find resultant load on foundation (center of the walls in this case)
Step 2 - Determine width of footing required based on allowable bearing capacity
Step 3 - design combined or separate footings for walls based on required width (I'm assuming combined)
Step 4 - Free body diagram with a equally distrbuted soil reaction to the bottom of the footing
Step 5 - Shear, and moment diagrams
Step 6 - Calculate required slab thickness and reinforcement
