allows you to generate soil bearing pressure and design the footing.
You simply enter the footing dimensions; the allowable soil bearing pressure; the column location, loads and moments; as well as other optional criteria.
The design can illustrate if the footing is thick enough, what main rebar is required, and if the resulting pressure is within the middle third of the footing.
The program enables you to review the following types of footings: rectangular footing with a single column; two adjacent rectangular footings with one column on each; a spread (raft) footing with multiple columns; wall footing; and a spread footing supported by piles with multiple columns.
Moreover, the adjacent footing option can provide you with overlapping soil pressures at any depth below the footings.
In addition, Footings lets you enter direct column loads, as well as bi-axial moments on each column, and generate a final report, which includes a reflection of the input, a code check against ACI 318-71, and resulting pressures with recommended reinforcement.
Please note that you can process both US and Metric units.
