How it works

Gravity footing load-case candidates

Screen finite rectangular gravity-footing dimensions against an actual static base-load case, full-contact bearing model and entered stability criteria. Compare concrete volume only among candidates satisfying every entered comparison.

N = applied downward load + effective foundation unit weight × B×L×T; corner q = N/(BL) ±6Mx/(BL²) ±6My/(LB²). Check full contact, maximum pressure, sliding and axis overturning factors.
