 I am working on a project where we sized the footings at our BRB frames like small mat foundations in RAM Concept. We sized them to stay within the maximum soil pressures given by the geotechnical engineer.

&lt;p&gt;You should review the pressures on Layers - Rule Set Designs - Soil Bearing Design - Min Soil Bearing Pressure Plan. If you see areas of negative pressures, then some of the area springs are in tension and there is a potential instability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
