Hello all, I'm investigating a footing with an eccentric load which results in a partial triangular soil pressure response. When I calculate bending moments I get negative values in the area where soil pressures are zero because of the footing concrete weight (footing is 4' thick). I checked the...
Hello to all, if I have a footing with bottom reinforcement only that undergoes moment reversal (say Mreversal= -100) and then I calculate the uncracked moment for rupture at the top fiber and find it to be much much larger like Mcr = 2000 would I still have to provide minimum top reinforcement...
