Area of Footing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Footing = Column Load/Soil bearing pressure
A = P_L/Ρ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Area of Footing - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Footing is the area of the foundation.
Column Load - (Measured in Newton) - The Column Load is the load acting on the column cross-section.
Soil bearing pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - soil bearing pressure is the resistance offered by soil under certain pressure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Column Load: 150 Kilonewton --> 150000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Soil bearing pressure: 50 Pascal --> 50 Pascal No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A = P_L/Ρ --> 150000/50

Evaluating ... ...

A = 3000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3000 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3000 Square Meter <-- Area of Footing

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Bending Stress in Beam

Go Bending Stress = (3*Load*Beam Length)/(2*Width*(Thickness of Beam^2))

Area of Footing

Go Area of Footing = Column Load/Soil bearing pressure

Area of Footing Formula

Area of Footing = Column Load/Soil bearing pressure
A = P_L/Ρ

Area of footing

The area of footing is the total area that is covered by the foundation of any infrastructure. In simple language, the area of footing is also the area that is covered by the infrastructure.

Soil Bearing Pressure

Soil Bearing Pressure is the resistance offered by the soil under a certain load. Also, it is a standardised quantity which tells us about the soil bearing capacity.
