A column pad base is subject to an axial

load of 200 kN (dead) plus 300 kN
(imposed), and a bending moment of 40
kNm. To suit site constraints, the base is
limited to a length of L = 1.8 m.

vertical load at an equivalent eccentricity.

The resultant vertical superstructure load is

P=G+Q
= 200 + 300
= 500 kN
Q as a percentage of P is 100Q/P = (100 300)/500 = 60%.
From "Fig. 11.22 Combined partial safety factor for dead + imposed loads", the combined
partial factor for superstructure loads is P = 1.52.
The resultant eccentricity is given by

Bearing pressure check design chart approach

A suitable base size can be checked or calculated using design chart H.1 in Appendix H. For
the purpose of this example this is reproduced in Fig. 11.26 below. Assuming a
superstructure bearing pressure of p = n a = 300 kN/m2,

Assuming a base length of L = 1.8 m,

From Fig. 11.26, this gives a required base area of

A = BL = 2.1 m2

A width of B = 1.2 m will be adopted.

The eccentricity eP = 0.08 m is less than L/6 = 1.8/6 = 0.3 m, and thus the formation is
loaded in compression over the full plan area of the base. Assume a width of B = 1.2 m.

Thus pmax = 293 kN/m2 and pmin = 169 kN/m2. These are less than the allowable bearing
pressure of na = 300 kN/m2 ; the width of B = 1.2 m is therefore satisfactory.
Resultant ultimate design pressures
Since the base is fully in compression, ultimate design pressures, pu, are obtained by simply
factoring up these pressures using the combined partial safety factor P.

Effect of offsetting the base

The load-bearing wall of a single-storey

Where the moment always acts in one direction, economies in the base size can be achieved
by positioning the base eccentric to the vertical load. Thus if the centroid of the base is offset
by eP = 0.08 m, the pressure becomes uniform, and is simply given by p = P/A. This would
