Footing Geometry form
Used to specify general footing geometry parameters to be used in the design of an octagonal footing.
Opens when is selected in the Main Navigator pane.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit | Select the units of length to use in this form. |
| Min / Max Footing Diameter | Specify the range of sizes used for checking in the design. The diameter is that of a circle on which the octagonal foundation is circumscribed in plan. The minimum diameter is first checked in the design process. If it is not adequate, then subsequent sizes are checked, up to the maximum diameter, until the design reaches the safety limit. |
| Min / Max Footing Thickness | Enter the minimum height which will be used in starting the design and will be checked up to the maximum value until the design reaches the safety limit. |
| Footing Dimension Increment | This input is for increment interval for width/ length or diameter of the footing. |
