Thank you apsix and henri2. By the way It is 334 Kpa not 334 Mpa. The design still use 200 Kpa at a depth of 2.0 meters. At this value which will and a lighter 3-storey structure, will I still need tie beams?
Soil study shows that an area for a future 4 storey structure have a soil bearing capacity of 334Mpa at 2 meters deep and projected 25mm settlement for the proposed load. The soil study also suggest that rigid tie beam should be installed to contain uneven settlement and isolated footings can be...
I'm using STAADIII. Whenever I use UBC load as sole primary load, ie, Ex. Load 3 UBC load X 1, and LOad 4 Ubc load z 1,
print support reactions resulted to zero reactions for this particular primary loads. Isn't it that UBC load should generate support reactions?
