This document provides a structural design calculation for pad footings for the Eden Gardens Apartments project. The calculation checks various design requirements including soil bearing capacity, shear capacity, moment capacity, and reinforcement requirements. Key aspects summarized:
- Soil bearing pressure is calculated to be 53.5 kN/m2, below the allowable capacity of 55.0 kN/m2.
- Two-way shear capacity is calculated to be 3,255.5 kN, well above the required capacity of 905.9 kN.
- Moment capacity for bending parallel to the x-axis is sufficient with a provided reinforcement ratio of 0.44, above the minimum requirements.
- Similarly
