Reports

Many different reports can be generated from the Foundation Module. The printed output is mostly generated using the Reports menu.

To print the service loads for a foundation design:

  • Select Reports > Screen.
  • Select Reports > Foundation Loads > Single.

Click the same continuous footing along Grid A. The Foundations Load report should appear. Notice that the various elements that are supported by the foundation are listed separately. For an explanation of sign convention see the Foundation manual.

  • Click to exit the report.

To print a summary of the spread footing designs:

  • Select Reports > Spread Footing Design Summary.
  • Click to exit the report.

For a continuous foundation design report:

  • Select Reports > Continuous Footing > Single.
  • Select one of the continuous foundations.
  • Click to exit the report.

The foundation envelope report is also available from the reports menu. This report lists the maximum design forces and soil stresses along the length of the foundation. This is the same report that you see when you select [View Envelope] from the View/Update dialog box.

Take time now to review the various reports available in the Reports menu.
