Check for uplift (pad and strip base:ACI 318)

For combinations producing tension at the support, the tension value is compared to the stabilizing loads and checked against a factor of safety (FOS).

Auto-design can automatically increment the base size to achieve a passing status.

The FOS considered for the uplift check (default value = 1.50) is specified by clicking Settings on the Foundations ribbon and then navigating to the Concrete > Foundations > Isolated Foundations > General Parameters page.
