Spread Footing Material Properties / Continuous Footing Material Properties

SettingDescription
Concrete fct The cracked stress capacity of the concrete. If Normal Weight concrete was used or if no fct value was defined then CODE will be displayed in this column indicating that fct was not defined.
Density This is the concrete density that is used for both calculating the self-weight of the footing and for selecting the proper design method in the concrete code.
Type

NW indicates that the concrete was defined as Normal Weight.

LW indicates that the concrete was defined as Light Weight concrete.

Ec Concrete Modulus of Elasticity. CODE will be displayed if the user has selected to have the RAM Foundation module calculate the value automatically otherwise the user defined value will be displayed. See the Technical Notes chapter for more information on calculating the Concrete Modulus of Elasticity - Ec.
Soil Cap or Table The Soil Compression Capacity will be reported if it was explicit defined for the footing otherwise the name of the Soil Tables assigned to the footing will be reported.
