Eccentricity along x-direction
Taking moment of column forces about the grid 1-1
x=10.974 m
= 10.974 - 10.5
= 0.474 m
Eccentricity along y-direction
Taking moment of column forces about the grid A-A
y=6.226 m

Maximum Soil Pressure = 60.547 <65.00
Hence OK
In the X-direction, the raft is divided in three strips :-
(i)Strip C-C
Width = 3.3m
Soil Pressure =60.547
Span = 7.00m
Maximum moment = 60.547X

(ii)Strip B-B
Width = 6 m
Soil Pressure = 57.923
Span = 7.00m
Maximum moment = 57.923X
7 2
10
=283.82
(iii)Strip A-A
Width = 3.3m
Soil Pressure = 52.674
Span = 7.00m
Maximum moment = 52.674X

Maximum moment = 60.547X

Cantilever Moment along X-direction
Soil Pressure = 60.547
Span = 0.30m
Maximum moment = 60.547X
0.32
2
=2.72
Therefore,
Maximum Factored Bending Moment = 445.02
Limiting Moment of Resistance= 0.138
Therefore depth required d= 470mm
Check for Punching Shear :
Let depth required= 819mm
Shear Strength of Concrete=
Where = 0.5+
=
Short dimension of column
=1
Long dimension of column
Therefore = 1
= 0.25
= 0.97
Hence,
Shear Strength of Concrete= 0.97
For Corner Column
Perimeter = 859 + 859 + 0 + 0
= 1719 mm
Nominal Shear Stress = =
825000
1407109
= 0.59
For Side Column
Perimeter = 1119 + 859 + 859 + 0
= 2837 mm
Nominal Shear Stress = =
2250000
2322996
= 0.97
- = 0.00
Hence Effective depth is O.K.
Therefore effective depth required= 819 mm
Adopt effective depth = 820 mm
Overall depth = 860 mm
