Spread Footing

Quickly create or check a variety of footing designs.

Module Description

Spread Footing checks or designs isolated column footings for proper size and reinforcement. It evaluates vertical compressive and tensile loads, surcharges, biaxial bending moments, and horizontal forces, with all calculations performed in accordance with ACI 318-2019.

The software is built to support—not replace—qualified structural engineers, and assumes a solid working knowledge of structural engineering principles.

Technical Specifications

  • Updated for ACI 2019, giving engineers confidence their footing designs meet the latest code requirements.
  • Designs footings to resist uplift, sliding, biaxial moments, and heavy axial loads, all in one streamlined workflow.
  • Accepts up to ten column loads and finds a single footing that works for all of them.
  • Automatically applies customizable ACI load combinations, including dead, live, wind, seismic, snow, rain, and roof live loads.
  • Dimension controls and user‑defined increments prevent impractical or oddly sized footings.
  • Clean, polished RTF reports integrate seamlessly with Word and other documentation workflows.
  • Flexible US/metric units, simple file structure, and graphic input backgrounds make the tool fast to learn and easy to use.
  • Designed for engineers who want clarity, speed, and dependable results without the clutter of over‑engineered software.
