A wall footing has the following conditions. Determine the distance to the neutral axis, c, measured from the top of the footing. Assume the footing is 3 ft wide, the pressure that acts on the bottom of the footing is 6,666 psf, and the reinforcement is a #8 bar spaced every 12 inches.The bottom of the footing is at a depth of 4 ft below grade.The service dead load is 6 kips/ft, and the service live load is 8 kips/ft.The wall is 16 in. thick.The footing is 13 in. thick.The allowable soil pressure, qa, is 5,300 psf.The soil has a density of 120 lb/ft3.The concrete has a density of 150 lb/ft3.The concrete cover has a thickness of 3 in.f’c = 3,500 psi and fy = 60,000 psi.
