Study Notes

Column Design

Columns are structural elements designed to support axial loads and bending moments.
Designers analyze columns for axial load, uniaxial bending (bending about a single axis), and biaxial bending (bending about two axes).
Factors affecting column design include the material properties, cross-sectional shape, length, and applied loads.

Isolated Footing Design

Isolated footings are concrete foundations designed to support individual columns or walls.
Square and rectangular footings are common for isolated footings.
Footings are designed to resist axial loads and bending moments.
Design considerations for isolated footings include the soil bearing capacity, footing dimensions, reinforcement details, and depth of embedment.
Uniform depth footings have a constant depth throughout the footing.
