Reinforced Concrete Rectangular Pad Footing Design

Calculates the reinforcement required for a reinforced rectangular or square concrete footing with a rectangular or square columns at the centre of the footing, for flexure and checks 1 way and 2 way shear at the concrete column, using ductility class N reinforcement For rectangular or square pads only, with no applied moment or horizontal forces Does not design for shear reinforcement. Not suitable for mesh reinforcement which is usually insufficient as minimum reo anyway
