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
