Footing Geometry page
This page will have a different set of parameters displayed depending on the Footing Type selected on the Exchanger Geometry page .
Combined Footing
Here you have to input the geometrical data relate to the footing.
| Setting | Description | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit | Choose the length dimension unit. | ||||||||
| Pier Dimensions group |
|
||||||||
| Right Overhang | Length of the right overhang from the central line of the right pier. Choose Yes from the combo box right next to it if you want to make it fix else No if you want to allow it to increase by the design engine. | ||||||||
| Left Overhang | Length of the left overhang from the central line of the left pier. Choose Yes from the combo box right next to it if you want to make it fix else No if you want to allow it to increase by the design engine. | ||||||||
| Width | Minimum width of the footing. Choose Yes from the combo box right next to it if you want to make it fix else No if you want to allow it to increase by the design engine. | ||||||||
| Width (Max) | The maximum width allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. | ||||||||
| Thickness | Minimum thickness of the footing. | ||||||||
| Thickness (Max) | The maximum thickness allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. The rate increment will have to be given on the right Increment input field. | ||||||||
| Length (Max) | The maximum total length allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. The rate increment will have to be given on the right Increment input field. | ||||||||
| Thickness Increment | This input is for increment interval for thickness of the footing. | ||||||||
| Length / Width Increment | This input is for increment interval for width and length of the footing. |
Isolated Footing
The dialog displays the following
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit | Choose the length dimension unit. |
| Pier to Pier Distance | Distance of the central lines of the pier. |
| Water Table Depth | Depth of water table from top of soil. This input is used to calculate buoyant forces on foundation. |
| Pier Width | Width of the pier. |
| Pier length | Breadth of the pier. |
| Width | Minimum width of the footing. Choose Yes from the combo box right next to it if you want to make it fix else No if you want to allow it to increase by the design engine. |
| Width (Max) | The maximum width allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. |
| Thickness | Minimum thickness of the footing. |
| Thickness (Max) | The maximum thickness allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. The rate increment will have to be given on the right Increment input field. |
| Length (Max) | The maximum total length allowed up to which it will be incremented by the design engine. The rate increment will have to be given on the right Increment input field. |
| Thickness Increment | This input is for increment interval for thickness of the footing. |
| Length / Width Increment | This input is for increment interval for width and length of the footing. |
| Identical Footings Option | By making this option ticked, both isolated footing will be identical. |
