Input DataThe input data required by the program consists of the interior and exterior footing dimensions, as well as the distances between columns and the property line location, as shown in the figure below. ASDIP allows designing the foundation for any combination of vertical loads and bending moments. Service loads are used to compute the soil bearing pressures; however, the reinforcement design, as well as the shear check, are performed according to the Ultimate Strength Design Method. |
ExampleAs an example, consider the strap footing shown below, where the property
line is at the exterior edge of the exterior column. Equal settlement
is assumed for the DL+1/2LL condition at a pressure of 3.3 ksf. Use f'c=3
ksi and fy=40 ksi. |

OutputOnce the input data is entered, the program computes the soil pressures under each footing and compares them with the allowable value. The shear stresses are checked for the loads and dimensions specified and the reinforcing steel is designed for bending. Figure at left shows the template of this program with the example data and results.
