FTG is a software for the design check of a pad footings and strip footings. Through a simple user interface footings are checked for bearing, bending, beam shear and punching shear as applicable, all with the click of a button.
FTG builds on its predecessor Footing, which has been used for 15 years by Australia’s consulting engineers, forming an integral part of their daily design, whilst incorporating the local design practices and traditions.
For the isolated pad footing, biaxial bending and uneven distribution of soil pressure is automatically considered, calculated and checked, and the distribution of the soil pressure is plotted.
The reduced capacity along the reinforcements development length is also fully considered depending on what detail is used: straight bar, hooked bar or bar with end plate.
Soil pressure is checked against the soil’s bearing capacity, and FTG will automatically check if the footing can be detailed as a plain concrete member without any reinforcement to the requirements of AS3600.
A comprehensive design check against the requirements of AS3600 can be implemented in FTG with all checks performed with the click of a button.
