PARAMETRIC WALL FOUNDATION DESIGN

May you please improve the design of foundation of parametric wall in RCDC,lets say if i want my footing size to be 1500mm by 300mm depth,but the left side i want it to be 400mm from centre of wall and right side to be 1100mm from centre of wall,currently that is not possible.

Hi

as per my understanding, you want to design eccentric footing. RCDC can design the eccentric footing. please refer below link for video available on Bentley communities,

Eccentric Footing Design

https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/m/structural_analysis_and_design_gallery/274459

minimum offset of 300mm is recommended from column face in RCDC. Please note that the sizing would be done based on the the maximum and minimum pressure check with shear checks. when any footing is design as eccentric, additional moment due to eccentricity need to consider in the design. Higher the Axial load, higher would be the eccentric moment. the Sizing of footing for this additional moment need to satisfy in the design.
