Single Footing Reinforcement | ideCAD Help Center

Single footing reinforcement design results and inadequacy conditions for individual foundations are displayed in the Single Footing Reinforcement dialog. In the Single Footing Reinforcements dialog, foundation reinforcements, soil stresses and slip-punch results are given.

The Place of Single Footing Reinfocement Dialog

After the analysis, you can access it by clicking the Single Foundation Reinforcements command under the ribbon menu Analysis and Design tab, Reinforced Concrete Design heading .

General Specifications of Single Footing Reinforcements Dialog

Summary

Summary information about the line where the cursor is located is given in the Name of the dialog in Solid, Name format.

Example Base, T001

Using the Shift key

In this tab, you can select more than one row with the Shift key, enter a value by double-clicking on any cell whose value is open to change, and make that value apply to all selected rows.

Using the Ctrl key

The Ctrl key selects the in-between lines one by one.

Reinforcement calculator

Calculates the amount of reinforcement in area for the selected diameter and spacing.

Previous

The cursor moves to the previous line.

Next

The cursor moves to the next line.

Recalculate

Rebuilds the element reinforced concrete. Regulation calculations related to reinforced concrete and reinforcement are also made again. For significant changes, it may be more appropriate to repeat the structural analysis instead of reinforced concrete.

Saves the changes made and closes the dialog.

Cancel

Closes the dialog without saving the changes made.

Insufficiency Code Description and Recommended Solution

Insufficiency Code	Description
K	Shear safety is not satisfied. The footing fails to meet the required shear capacity. Solutions: Increase footing dimensions; enhance shear reinforcement by increasing stirrup diameter or reducing spacing.
M	The maximum reinforcement ratio is exceeded. The reinforcement ratio surpasses code limits. Solutions: Reduce the amount of reinforcement; adjust footing dimensions to comply with code limits.
Zg	Soil bearing capacity is exceeded. Solutions: Increase the area of the footing; improve soil conditions; consider using piles or other ground improvement techniques.
As(-)	Provided reinforcement area is insufficient. Solutions: Choose larger diameter bars; increase the number of bars to meet the required area.

Single Footings Tab

Specifications
DS It is the reinforcement fixing column. If marked, the reinforcements are fixed. The DS is automatically marked when changes are made to the basic reinforcements and the reinforcements remain fixed even after analysis. If DS is not marked, the reinforcements are determined again according to the reinforcement selection conditions after the analysis.
ID It is the name of the single footing in the plan. (T001, T101, T010 etc.) In case of negativity, the negation term is added next to the name. Example: T101(Z)
XL The dimensions of the single footing.
MSc The dimensions of the single footing.
Major Axis It is the number and diameter of reinforcement in the major axis direction.
Minor Axis It is the number and diameter of reinforcement in the minor axis direction.
H Col. It is the height of the section at the column edge.
H Edge It is the height of the section on the basic edge. (cm)
Max.B.Prs. It is the maximum base pressure value.
