Get started with your design

The Concrete Rectangular Footing Design to AS 3600-2018 tool provides a complete solution for designing isolated reinforced concrete footings that support single columns, including those positioned eccentrically. This tool allows users to perform detailed section design and critical stability checks, covering overturning, sliding, uplift, and soil bearing pressure at corners of the footing. All calculations align with the AS 3600-2018 standard, ensuring compliance and accuracy in design.

This tool is for:

  • Structural Engineers: Precisely assess footing stability under various loading conditions, ensuring a safe and code-compliant design.
  • Geotechnical Consultants: Integrate soil bearing checks and stability assessments to guarantee foundational integrity based on ground conditions.
  • Construction Project Managers: Confirm that footing designs meet structural and safety standards, supporting smooth project execution.

This parametric document simplifies complex footing calculations, ensuring that load, stability, and soil-bearing requirements are met according to AS 3600-2018. It provides users with a clear, consistent approach to designing safe, resilient footings for construction projects of varying scales.

FAQs

How does the placement of the column affect the design of a rectangular footing?

Eccentric column placement introduces additional moments and load distribution considerations, requiring careful design adjustments to ensure stability and uniform load transfer to the footing.

What factors influence the stability of a concrete footing?

Key factors include soil conditions, applied loads, footing dimensions, reinforcement placement, and eccentric column positioning. Proper assessment of these elements is essential for effective design and structural safety.

Why are checks for overturning, sliding, uplift, and soil bearing necessary?

These checks assess the footing's resistance to various failure modes. Overturning, sliding, and uplift checks ensure stability against lateral and vertical forces, while soil bearing checks confirm that the ground can safely support the footing’s loads without excessive settlement.
