Foundation Design and Resisting Uplift
Foundation Design and Resisting Uplift
(OP)
I am designing a foundation for a metal building. I have a frame load but I am considering using the collateral gravity load to resist uplift as well. I am not sure I should??

Permanently attached seems to fall under dead load.
Didn't the building supplier provide reactions?

It's hard for me to wrap my head around so many load combinations and having to design a combined footing for 10 columns or so, and making sure it survives even distribution every time, since the loads on the columns change, so does the center of load, and then I have to modify the size of the foundation, when does this end?
Thanks.
