Longitudinal Flexure in Continuous Footings

The longitudinal footing flexure is evaluated at all stations between the faces of supported columns and/or walls and footing ends. The required flexural capacity for a section perpendicular to the footing's major axis is recovered from the finite element analysis described in Section 4.8. The provided flexural capacity is calculated using the same method outlined in Section 4.10.3.
