This program designs reinforced concrete isolated foundation /
footing under axial compression or
tension and uni-axial bending moment.
|
| Foundation
could be designed as of uniform thickness or of tapered thickness.
|
| Tapered foundation is designed only under axial
compression, no applied moment is allowed.
|
| Development of tension is not allowed in foundation,
that means eccentricity greater than Length or width / 6 of foundation is not allowed.
|
|
Side face reinforcement shall be provided for depth greater than 1000
mm. The total area of steel shall not be
less than 3.6 cm2/m per face.
|
|
f y = 415 N/mm2 (Characteristic strength of reinforcement)
|
|
Minimum steel shall not be less than 0.12 %.
|
|
Factor of
safety against over turning is taken as 1. 2
|
|
Density of
soil is taken as 1.8 t / m3.
