-
Do either of the following:
Select Loads & Factors > Apply Self Weight from the Main Navigation pane.
or
Select the Self Weight tool from the Tools ribbon tab.
- Select the Include check box for each load case to have Self Weight included.
- Specify a Factor by which to multiply the program-calculated self weight and/or dead weight. This is set to unity (1) by default. Factor values will be used to for load combinations. For service load combinations self weight will be multiplied by the corresponding factor of that load combination. This factor governs both the foundation self weight as well as the weight of soil above a mat foundation.
