Inverted T beam strips foundation
Inverted T beam strips foundation
(OP)
Dear experts
I’m designing foundation of precast bearing wall , foundation system will be inverted T beam , the model of foundation is two elements shell element for flange and frame element for the stem , my question is , shall i design the stem as a beam ( top ,bottom reinf. & stirrups) or design as pedestal on the lateral loads only due to soil pressure and suppose that this stem will be transfered all of the loads to the shell by bearing .
Thank you

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Actually the building is three story buildings and all vertical elements are precast concrete wall and these walls will be designed to resist all of the forces ( vertical & horizontal) .
