Design of Allowable Soil Pressure for Single Foundation in RFEM 6
Design of the allowable soil pressure for a single foundation in RFEM 6
The image shows a detailed view of the design of the allowable soil pressure for a single foundation in RFEM 6.
Displayed are the internal forces acting on the foundation, the resulting stress distribution beneath the foundation base, and the additional loads from self-weight and soil cover that have been taken into account.
The right-hand side displays the complete calculation according to ACI 318, including the maximum soil pressure and the design ratio.
The design requirement is fulfilled since the design ratio is less than 1.0.
