Overturning moment includes wind, eccentric lifting, and dynamic effects. 4. Foundation Sizing – Bearing Pressure Check (SLS) 4.1 Self-weight of foundation [ W_conc = L \times B \times t \times \gamma_conc = 6.0 \times 6.0 \times 1.2 \times 25 = 1080 , \textkN ] Soil above base (ignore – removed during excavation and not replaced for simplicity – conservative). 4.2 Total vertical load (SLS) [ N_total = V_k + W_conc = 850 + 1080 = 1930 , \textkN ] 4.3 Eccentricity [ e = \fracM_kN_total = \frac42001930 = 2.176 , \textm ]

For a 6 m square foundation, (L/6 = 1.0 , \textm). Since (e > L/6) (2.176 > 1.0), the resultant lies outside the middle third → partial uplift. Effective width (L' = 3 \times (L/2 - e) = 3 \times (3.0 - 2.176) = 2.472 , \textm). [ q_max = \frac2 \times N_totalB \times L' = \frac2 \times 19306.0 \times 2.472 = \frac386014.832 \approx 260.3 , \textkPa ]

Effective width (L') (ULS) with (e = M_d / N_total,ULS = 6300 / 2985.5 = 2.11 , \textm) [ L' = 3\times(3.5 - 2.11) = 4.17 , \textm ] [ q_max,ULS = \frac2 \times 2985.57 \times 4.17 = \frac597129.19 \approx 204.5 , \textkPa ]

Moment about column edge = pressure resultant × lever arm. Use trapezoidal distribution? For simplicity, take average pressure = (204.5 + 0)/2? No, partial uplift. Actually, use effective width method:

(M_Ed, per m = 4473 / 7 = 639 , \textkNm/m) [ A_s,req = \frac639\times10^60.87\times500\times0.9\times1409 = \frac639\times10^6551,000 \approx 1160 , \textmm^2/\textm ]
