Performs analysis and design of reinforced concrete and plain concrete rectangular footings supporting a single column or a continuous concrete or masonry wall. The column or wall does not have to be located in the middle of the footing.

In the Check mode, for a known footing size and applied loading, the program computes the pressure profile, designs for flexure, and checks one-way and two-way shears.
In the Design mode, the program selects the size of the footing that can safely and adequately carry the column or wall loads.

arrow Geometry:
Column footing
  - Square or rectangular column footing.
- Continuous wall (concrete or masonry) footing.
- Handles property-line limitations.
- Column or wall may be eccentric.
- In design mode: vary or fix footing thickness and any distance from center of column to footing edge.
   
arrow Reinforcement:  
 

- Select layer placement.
- Clear cover to bars.
- Specify minimum and maximum bar size and spacing for each layer.

Wall footing
   
arrow Material Properties:  
  - Concrete strength, f'c, and unit weight.
- Soil unit weight and allowable bearing pressure.
- Reinforcing steel yield strength, fy, and modulus of elasticity, Es.
- US, Canadian, European, and Japanese bars.
- Epoxy-coated bars

 
     
arrow Loads: (per load case) arrow Load Cases:
  - Axial load, P
- Bending moments, Mx and Mz
- Top-of-column shear, Vx and Vz
- Uniform vertical surcharge load		   - Up to 6 load cases.
- Use built-in cases such as: Dead, Live, Wind and Seismic; or define your own.
     

 
arrow Load Combinations:

 
  - Up to 24 load combinations.
- Separate combinations for design and serviceability (bearing).
- Use built-in combinations that are based on the selected design code;
or define your own combinations.		  
     
arrow Column-footing bearing :

 
  - Column concrete compressive strength.
- Column bars (number and size).
- Minimum dowel bar size.
