Design of a Square Footing

Design a suitable footing for a 500 mm × 500 mm square column transferring 600 kN axial load. The safe bearing capacity of soil is 120 KN/m^2. Use M 15 concrete and Fe 250 steel. Adopt limit design method.

Hi. Thanks for the video tutorial. When it comes to providing anchorage length for the main bars and distribution bars in the footing, what can be done if there is not enough space to accommodate the calculated length from the Ld formula? The Ld should start from a distance of the face of the column horizontal until the either vertical side of the footing and then bent up if necessary. But what if the length of Ld calculated is too long for the available space in the section even after bending the bar into a "U" shape?
