Hello,
I am designing a combined footing using STAAD Foundation. I noticed in the calculation sheet that it does not give any calculation for the development lengths (please see the attached file). Does the software consider the development lengths in giving out the final design?

Can you please let us know which development length you are referring to? Any snap or example will be helpful for me to understand.
I computed the length per bar (shown in the image). In giving out these bar lengths, I was curious if STAAD Foundation performed a check to determine whether these bar lengths would satisfy the development length requirement applicable to this footing.
Development length calculation feature is available in Isolated and pile-cap. In combined it is not available till now in SFA.
SFA considers development length check in Isolated and Pile-cap foundation. In combined footing it is not available till now.
