DESIGN OF TOE SLAB
Downward weight of slab = 0.45 x 25 = 11.25 kN/m2
Hence Net pressure intensity at O = 119.43-11.25= 108.18 kN/m2
And Net pressure intensity at junction of stem with toe = 79.72-11.25 = 68.47 kN/m2
Shear Force at junction = 0.5 x (108.18+68.47) x 0.8
= 70.66 kN
dist of resultant of forces from junction = ((108.18+2 x 11.25)/(11.25+108.18)) x 0.27
= 0.43 m
Bending Moment at juntion = 70.66 x 0.43

Effective Depth provided = 385 mm
Area of steel = 30.38 x 10^6/(275 x 0.916 x 385)

DESIGN OF HEEL SLAB
Downward weight of slab = 1.45 x 0.45 x 25

Downward weight of soil = 1.45 x 4.2076 x 18

Total upward soil reaction = 0.5 x (60.84+6.14) x 1.45

Shear Force at junction = 16.31+109.82-48.561

Bending Moment at juntion = 16.31 x 0.725+109.82 x 0.725-48.561 x 0.528

Effective Depth required = ((65.8 x 10^6/(1000 x 0.811))^0.5
