Load Case Generation
Load Case Generation
(OP)
I am generating the factored loads per ASCE 7-10 for design of simple spread foundations. Is it improper to design the foundations ignoring uplift on the footing and maximizing the dead load and the conversely just considering uplift and using the larger foundation size from the two different cases?

uplift will contribute beside soil reaction in incresing stresses on footing and the own weight of footing will be negligible in value against them
