Design of Bucket Foundations

In the RF‑/JOINTS Steel - Column Base add-on module, you can also design restrained column bases in bucket foundations.

First, select the "Bucket footing" joint type in the general data; see Image 1.

Then the "Footing" and "Column" windows appear, where you define the corresponding parameters; see Images 2 and 3.

The following design checks are possible:

  • Design of required restraint depth
  • Elastic cross-section design of column cross-section
  • Design of concrete load-bearing capacity under base plate
  • Design of welds
