    SAFE is one of CSI software and it is specialized in designing footings and slabs. I found the option in version 12 to remove tension stress in soil support ( in the attached). but still, if I calculate the center of soil stress it won't coincide with the eccentricity of external applied force...

    Vehicular impact on boundary wall

    I believe that they should not be designed to any vehicular impact load as they are not an essential part of the road. similar to noise walls, they themselves are not required to resist vehicular impact load unless they serve as traffic barrier or if they are attached to it. It makes sense to...

    Vehicular impact on boundary wall

    hi everybody I'm designing a boundary walls in a residential area. I can't find anything in ASCE-7 or AASHTO directing me to design them to withstand vehicular impact. can anyone guide me to find exact wording tells me that they are exempted from resisting vehicular impact?
