  • Hi


    top steel is depend on following in RCDC,
    1. if footing is designed for tension in column
    2. footing designed with loss of contact (LOC)
    3.user selected the the top steel. 
    4. footing depth more than 1000mm (IS code)

    I would request you to share complete information to understand query clearly. if you share which code is used, it would become easy to answer your query. Please mention which RCDC version is used.
    i would always suggest user to share query with some snaps / video so that it is clear to us. Sharing RCDC file will always help us responding query properly.
