FAQ
Questions Footing Size Calculator owners ask.
- 01
What inputs are required for the calculation?
You need to provide the column load in kips and the allowable soil bearing capacity in ksf.
- 02
How can I find the bearing capacity for different soil types?
You can use the retrieve_soil_capacity capability to look up standardized values for Clay, Sand, and Gravel.
- 03
What happens if my input parameters are too high?
The validate_engineering_params capability will flag any load exceeding 10,000 kips or capacity exceeding 20 ksf as potentially erroneous.
