Pier Footing Code Check

Navigation: Substructure Code Checks > Pier Footing Code Check

For detailed parameter explanations, see the Pier Footing Code Check Reference.

Step 1: In this section, please specify Pier Footing the code check will be applied to.

Step 2: Navigate to Substructure Code Checks > Pier Footing Code Check

Step 3: Click three-dots icon on Select Pier Footing and select as RF1

(As a different way, the relevant Pier Footing can be selected on the 3D view by clicking "Pick".

Step 4: Click three-dots icon on Pier Footing Template.

Select the PFCCT1 "Pier Footing Code Check" template defined in the previous steps for all.

Step 5: Enter code check station in longitudinal and transverse directions by Distance in Longitudinal direction from centroid [ft] and Distance in Longitudinal direction from centroid [ft] as 3.

Step 6: Quick Tip

How determine "Distance in Longitudinal & Transverse direction from centroid [ft] parameters?

The point indicated by the red circle is the point where the code is checked for pier footing.

Enter 3 for "Distance in Longitudinal direction from centroid [ft]" and "Distance in Longitudinal direction from centroid [ft]" parameters.

This is because the section edge of the column (Col_Sec2) has 6 ft (72 in), half of this value is entered.

Step 7: Navigate Flexural Reinforcements tab.

Set Reinforcement Material as A615_60.

Step 8: Click three-dots icon on Longitudinal Direction Reinforcements and click Edit.

Step 9: There are 2 types of Flexural Reinforcement in the section, Bottom and Top.

Step 10: Enter Parameters in combobox as follows for both:

Step 11: Rebar Profile as ASTMA615No6

Spacing of Reinforcements [in] as 10

Distance to Extreme Fiber (concrete cover) [in] as 4

Step 12: Repeat previous step (row 11) for Transverse Direction Reinforcements.

Step 13: Navigate Shear Reinforcements tab.

Set Reinforcement Profile as ASTMA615No6 for Longitudinal and Transverse direction
