Isolated Footing job

Isolated footing job type has a unique group for local data called Design Parameters. This group allows you to specify design parameters for the selected isolated footing and is only active for isolated footing job types.

Note: STAAD Foundation Advanced Isolated Footings are assumed to be rectangular in plan. Isolated footings with irregular shapes can be designed through as Mat foundation jobs. STAAD Foundation Advanced performs Isolated Footing analysis and design based on rigid analysis methods, for flexible analysis, please model isolated footings using the Mat Foundation module.

The Design Parameters group contains the following elements:

Table 1. Isolated Footing group items
Name Description Same Effect as Selecting
Concrete and Rebar Opens the Concrete and Reinforcement form (Isolated Footing) in the Data Input pane, which is used to input concrete and rebar properties for the current isolated footing job.  
Cover and Soil Opens the Cover and Soil form (Isolated Footing) in the Data Input pane, which is used to input cover parameters, and soil characteristics, and footing Bottom or Top Fixed option.  
Sliding and Overturning Open the Sliding and Overturning form (Combined footing) in the Data Input pane, which is used to input stability safety factors for the current Combined footing job.  
Footing and Geometry Opens the Footing Geometry form (Isolated Footing) in the data input pane, which is used to input isolated footing geometry for the current isolated footing job. View Options in the Ribbon toolbar
Sliding and Overturning Opens the Sliding and Overturning form (Isolated Footing) in the data input pane, which is used to input stability safety factors for the current isolated footing job. Scale in the Ribbon toolbar
Design Initiates the Designing an isolated footing . A dialog opens to confirm you want to proceed.  
Detailed Output (US and Indian codes only) Opens the STAAD Foundation Advanced Export to Excel file dialog, which is used to save the design output for the isolated footing job in a Microsoft Office Excel® spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel XML file format, with an .xml file extension).
