Overturning can be checked for single column piers as well as for multiple column piers. Program can check and report overturning and stabilizing moments about X axis as well as about Z axis of the pier. In order to check the overturning, user must have completed the analysis, specified and designed one isolated spread footing below each column. If there are more than one footings under a column, program will not check overturning. It will check only when each column has only one footing. Overturning check can be done for service loads or for factored (strength/extreme event) load combinations. User can choose to check overturning for all combinations (service/factored) or for only those combinations which include wind or earthquake loads. Additionally user may ignore the effect of live loads from the combinations. The computations are based on applied loads on the structure and their moment arms. Program at this point does not use any analysis results. It only uses the generated combinations however. Even though the overturning is checked with reference to the bottom edge of the footing, program does not allow any lateral loads to be applied directly on the footing. The self weight of the structure (including footing weight) as well as the surcharge is considered in calculations.
