Thank you very much for the answers, specifically I was wondering if there was something similar to the column vs slab concrete strength relationship as discussed in ACI 318 section 10.12 which requires puddling of column concrete within the slab concrete.

Thanks dik, forgot the mention the walls I was referring to shear walls of a tall building. What do you mean by confined bearing strength?

Hi All, I was wondering if any of you are aware of a provision that limits the concrete strength for footings supporting columns (and walls) of concrete strength 10 ksi. Can I specify 3 ksi concrete footings? Thanks.

Anybody faimiliar with Response2000. I need to get a theoretical load-disp curve for a simply supported reinforced concrete T beam loaded monotonically in the middle with a point load. The values i obtain are much lower than what i got from the test results. Do I need to multiply the results...
