Column Dimensions table
A spreadsheet table used to specify the depth and width of the columns at each support location. Column dimensions are needed to check punching shear for a mat foundation. For all other footing types these dimensions will be used to calculate critical design forces.
The unit used for this form is set through the Unit Setup tool on the Home ribbon tab.
Note: This table allows you to quickly enter in data for multiple columns. To provide data for a single column, you can use the Set Column Dimensions tool on the Home ribbon tab.
Opens when is selected in the Main Navigator pane.
If the column type is Circular, the Column Width field will be inactive.
Note: For an Octagonal Footing in General Mode, only the following value is used: Column Depth/Dia (i.e., Column Width is ignored).
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Column Reinforcement Diameter | (For IS Code only) The diameter of reinforcement used (in length units shown) within the column. This value is used in checking compression development length in isolated footings. |
| Column Utility Factor | (For IS Code only) The utilization ratio for the column based on concrete design. This value is used in checking compression development length in isolated footings. |
