SFA - worst footing

Dear,

If I have several  isolated foundations with same geometry and properties, but differently loaded, how to quickly see which one has highest demands?

Is there something like "table with utilization ratios"?

Regards,

  • This is not available currently. Does that information have any value if the footings are of different sizes?

    In steel design, any given steel member gets checked for a number of requirements - LTB, FLB, WLB, Column buckling, interaction of axial and bending, shear, etc., and the highest capacity/demand ratio from these checks becomes the highest utilization ratio on a member by member basis.

    Something similar is already being done for footings. The calculation report, which is on a per footing basis, contains the results for the load case that produces the highest ratio of capacity/demand for each check.

    What we don't report is the ratio itself, but that could be added.

    Does that answer your question?
