Beam Geometry page

Used to specify grade beam geometry for isolated footings connected by a strap beam.

Here UDL with unit over beam option is available. Max & Min Depth Range of Beam, Width of Beam (with unit input), Main Bar Range, Stirrup Bar Range, Stirrup Type (Number of legs), Stirrup Spacing Range ( with input) are available in this page.

Setting	Description
Beam Loading - UDL On Beam	Specify a uniform dead load applied over the length of the grade beam, in the selected units. For example, this may be the weight of a wall load over the beam.
Min / Max 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.
Beam Width	Width of the beam above the spread footing, in the selected units.
Min / Max Bars Size (Main Bar)	Specify the range of permissible longitudinal reinforcing bar sizes.
Min / Max Bars Size (Stirrup)	Specify the range of permissible stirrup sizes.
Min / Max Spacing of Stirrup	Specify the permissible range of stirrup spacing, in the selected units.
Type of Stirrup	Select the number of stirrup legs present in a cross section.
