A geotechnical report has suggested an allowable bearing pressure of 200kPa. Determine the minimum size of the pad footing 2 metres wide for a steel column if a factor of safety of 2.0 is recommended (include an estimate of self weight of the footing in your calculations). The total load of the column is 447.644kN
