A concrete column caries an axial load of 450 kN and a bending moment of 60 kM m at its base. An isolated footing of size 2m by 3m, with 3m side along the plane of the bending moment, is provided under the column. Centres of gravity of column and footing coincide. The net maximum and the minimum pressures in kN/m2 on soil under the footing are respectively.
