Abstract

This article presents experimental results of five (5) concentrically loaded plain concrete isolated footings. It aims at comparing the flexural strength predicted by ACI code 318-14 with the experimentally determined flexural strength. The test method developed, the geometric and structural characteristics of footings are described. Research results are presented, and it is concluded that the criterion proposed by the code to predict flexural strength of simple concrete footings provides an appropriate safety level.

Keywords: Spread footing, granular soil, flexural strength, plain concrete
