Footing Design - How to Check the Shear Capacity per ACI 318

ORLANDO, Fla. - June 22, 2021 - PRLog -- Dear asdip customer:

In addition to the stability checks and the design for flexure, a spread footing needs to be designed for shear. But how many checks are required by aci 318?  how do you calculate the shear at the critical sections? what happens if the footing is in partial bearing? what happens if the footing is biaxial? how do you calculate the design shear strength?

I have prepared a blog post with a short video that discusses the engineering background behind the calculation of the shear design ratio for a typical footing. To illustrate the theory, an example is solved from scratch using asdip foundation. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
