Combined Footings

The following enhancements have been made to general mode combined footings.

  • The ability to specify a minimum and maximum size to use in the design of top reinforcing bars is added to the Concrete and Reinforcement form.
  • The terminology used to specify the depth of the footing below soil has been clarified when indicating if the depth is fixed to the top or bottom of the footing.
  • The ability to specify a minimum percent of contact area required has been added to the Cover and Soil form.
  • The calculation sheets for combined footings now include dynamically drawn figures and plots.

Column Eccentricities

Column eccentricities (i.e., offsets from footing centerline transverse to the longitudinal direction) can be specified on the new Column Eccentricity form for each column on a combined footing.
