Footing Design
This section is the design summary for the footing providing the footing dimensions, required reinforcement and material properties.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Length/Width | If the distances from the column to the footing edges - l1, l2, w1 and w2 are the same then the total dimension is displayed. Otherwise the total as well as the individual dimensions are displayed. |
| Overturning Safety Factors | Refer to the Technical Chapter for an explanation of how the Overturning Safety Factors is calculated. The number next to the Overturning Safety Factors is the controlling soil load case that produces the factor. |
| Reinforcement | If the footing is a rectangle and a concentration of reinforcement is required in the center strip for bars perpendicular to the long direction of the footing, the number of bars in the strip will be reported after the total number of bars in that direction. The bars reported in the strip indicate the number of bars from the total that need to be located in the strip and are NOT the number of bars required in addition to the reported total. |
