Spread Footing Design Summary

The purpose of the report is to provide a summary of the spread footing designs for detailing, scheduling on the construction drawings and cost estimating.

SettingDescription
Orientation Col /Footing This is the Column and Footing orientation relative to the Global x-axis.
Length/Width If the distances from the column to the footing edges - l1, l2, and w1, w2 are the same then the total dimension is displayed. Otherwise the total as well as the individual dimensions are displayed.
f'c/fy The concrete compression stress capacity and the reinforcement steel stress capacity.
Reinforcement The required reinforcement Parallel to the given direction is reported. If Top reinforcement is not required "None" is reported. If reinforcement is required in the center strip for a rectangular footing, it is reported next to the total number of bars for 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.
