Input  Output          
Working loads Eccentricity          
Footing dimensions Max. pressure on soil under foundation          
Pier dimensions            
Materials (soil, concrete)            
                 
Maximum Factored Loads              
N = kip axial force       Pair of maximum loads. Mx and My are not
M = kip-ft bending moment       considered simultaneous.
F = kip horizontal force on top of foundation (shear)

Footing Dimensions              
L = ft Foundation base length          
W = ft Foundation base width          
t = 1.5 ft Foundation base thickness          
  (parameters that can not be modified in the demo version)          
f = ft Depth to top of foundation base          
Pier Dimensions                    
l = ft pier dimension along X          
w = ft pier dimension along Z          
h = ft pier height          
                       
Materials                    
gfill = pcf (unit weight of fill material)              
gconcrete = pcf (unit weight of concrete)              
                       
General Calculations                    
Af = L * W = ft2 Foundation Area          
Ap = l * w = ft2 Pier Area          
Wtc = (Af*t + Ap*h)*gconcrete = kips Concrete Weight          
Wts = (Af - Ap)*gconcrete*f = kips Fill Material Weight          
                       
Loads transfered to the ground (for the calculation of soil max. pressure)          
Nbase = Wtc + Wts + N  = kips        
Mbase = F * (t + h) + M = kip-ft              
e = Mbase / Nbase  = ft   eccentricity            
L/6 = ft                
L/2 = ft
