Continuous Footings
The command works just like the corresponding command for spread footings. The only difference being that the width cannot be optimized for continuous foundations. The user must always enter the dimensional values or accept the default.
In addition to entering dimensional information, this dialog box is used to assign the number of shear reinforcement legs. See Online Help for additional information.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Assume Transverse Bars are Hooked at Ends | This option is similar to the one for spread footings but only applies to the transverse reinforcement. When this option is selected it will be indicated in the design reports and DXF output that hooks were assumed for the specified reinforcement. |
