Notes
* Soil under the footing is considered elastic and homogeneous. A linear soil pressure variation is
assumed.
* The required flexural reinforcement considers at least the minimum reinforcement
* The design bending moment is calculated at the critical sections located at the support faces
* Only rectangular footings with uniform sections and rectangular columns are considered.
* The nominal shear strength is calculated in critical sections located at a distance d from the
support face
* The punching shear strength is calculated in a perimetral section located at a distance d/2 from
the support faces
* Transverse reinforcement is not considered in footings
* Values shown in red are not in compliance with a provision of the code
*qprom = Mean compression pressure on soil.
*qmax = Maximum compression pressure on soil.
*Dmax = maximum total settlement (considering an elastic soil modeled by the subgrade reaction
modulus).

* Mn = Nominal moment strength.

* Mu/(f*Mn) = Strength ratio.
* Vn = Nominal shear or punchure force (for footings Vn=Vc).
* Vu/(f*Vn) = Shear or punching shear strength ratio.
