the rebar should sit directly on the cutoff pile as there is a sufficient concrete cover provided already

the structural software will normally address the stiffness once you have created the model and applied the corresponding member section/sizes

Mu is the inplane moment of the bending moment towards the strong direction of the wall in plan

rebar is just a slang/short word for the full term reinforcing bars

two values represent the maximum and minimum moments...maximum tension and maximum compression during reversal of loads

vertical cracks in blockworks means it has cracked under compression loads assuming to vertical reinforcement have been provided...are there any horizontal or diagonal cracks anywhere along the face or the section to suggest it may have been due to other forces?
chris magadia...
combined footing will have more resistance to seismic unless you tie the isolated footings with beams

in my 10 years in the middle east with predominantly mat or raft foundations in building structures...we normally use safe software by csi...it is quite good and comes handy once you have completed your etabs superstructure model

it depends on the behaviour and distribution of loads...as mentioned above the aci recommendation is based from tests and previous experience and not every projects or structures are the same
the most important thing to remember in this subject is knowing or predicting if the column is gonna...
torsional global resistance is more to do with geometric properties although flexural rebars if placed appropriately along the cross section area will increase its sectional torsional moment of resistance

out of plane forces are supposed to be taken by the return walls/perpendicular walls or the box action of any c or l shaped walls.
there is a software that deals with out of plane loadings...you can check s-concrete

Dear colleagues
A newbie here. I am just wondering if there are any resources in the forum where i can download any structural codes such as different seismic codes around the world more specifically the new zealand seismic codes.
Thank you
Chris Magadia
