SettingDescription
Footing plan increment

Specify an increment interval for width and length of the footing, in the selected units.

Footing thickness increment

Specify an increment interval for the thickness of the footing, in the selected units.

Beam Width

Width of the beam above the spread footing, in the selected units.

Beam Depth

Enter the range of beam depth permissible for design, in the selected units. The design process will begin with the minimum depth and iterate designs up to and including the maximum depth specified.

Note: Beam depth is taken from top of grade beam to bottom of spread footing.
Overturning Safety Factor Specify a factor of safety against overturning.
Sliding Safety Factor Specify a factor of safety against sliding.
Coefficient of Friction Specify a coefficient value of friction between the soil and concrete.
