The footing postprocessor designs reinforced
concrete spread footings:
- Design for axial force and biaxial moments (in same load
case)
- Eccentric column allowed in both directions
- "Quick design" of multiple footings
- Multiple load cases (up to 25)
- Additional loads options :
self - weight of the footing
weight of soil above footing
additional distributed load on top of footing
- Limiting uplifting in footings loaded with moments
- Automatic design of base dimensions and reinforcement according to
Code requirements
- Automatic design of height for punching and shear, including sloped
upper surface
- Automatic design and detailing of reinforcement
- User defined dimensions may be checked
- Design units may be specified by the user
- Graphic output of footing - plan and section - to scale and in color
- DXF file of graphic output may be created
The program
designs rectangular spread footings at all nodes assigned with restraints
and springs.
The program automatically retrieves from STRAP:
- The reactions for all STRAP load combinations at these nodes (force and
moments)
- the column dimensions (if possible) from the section of the member
attached to the node.
Also available as a stand-alone
program - FOUND. The user can choose to design:
All / several
footings: The program automatically designs the footings for the
group of supports selected. Design parameters may be defined for the
entire model.
Single
footing: The program automatically designs the footing for the
support selected.
- Revise parameters for the individual footing.
- Add, revise or delete load cases.
- Check any dimensions.
