Checks performed (pad and strip base:ACI 318)

The checks performed for both directions are:

  • Max soil bearing pressure must not exceed allowable bearing pressure.
  • Provided steel must be greater than As(min) for both vertical directions.
  • Provided bar spacing must be inside the limiting spacing
  • Provided bar size must be inside the limiting sizes
  • Check for bending moment capacity
  • Check for shear capacity - wide beam action at 'd' from column face
  • Punching check at 'd/2' from column face - two-way action
  • Check for transfer of forces at column base
  • Check for transfer of horizontal forces by shear friction theory
  • Check for overturning forces - not in the current release
  • Check for sliding
  • Check for uplift
