StructuralEIT: I'm attaching the same sketch for the same footing but this time for the moment in the other direction. I just want to make sure that I did get the idea right. If my calc is right, I'm getting a 17 KSF as a maximum bearing pressure, while the number I got from the geotechnical...
StructuralEIT: Thank you very much. You saved my day.
msquared48: Thanks for the sketch and it's very clear.
Another question, so when e> L/6, does this mean that there is an uplift? When can you determine if there is an uplift or not?
Thank you very much for your help and for your sketch. The problem is, it's always a funky shape footing for the shear wall! :-). I'm attaching the sketch of the kind of footings I'm dealing with. The problem as I said before is with the FBD and the distrubution (The B). In this case, do you use...
Is there any book with examples describing this? All the e's i'm getting are > L/6 and i'm having a problem in finding the partial bearing on the fbd. I'm sorry, i'm an intern.
thanks
Hi,
Anyone has examples, hand calcs, procedures or anything for designing footings for uplift or for eccentrici loads. I'm stuck with this job which is to design shear wall footing for uplift and I don't know how to do it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
