GGU-FOOTING: Represent results in the footing plan view (Example 3)
Select the "Output preferences/Footing plan" menu item or click in the "Plan view" drawing element at the right side of the diagram. (Note: The footing analysis diagram is here when analysing in "Multiple footings" mode).
Activate the "Pressure zone coloured" check box. Press the "Colour press. zone" button and select a quiet red from the box (or perhaps not). Confirm with "OK".
In the plan view at the right the pressure zone is now coloured.
The graphic also contains:
the characteristic forces Mx,k, My,k, Hx,k and the vertical force Fv,k (= resultant, marked by a cross).
the 1st core dimension.
If the resultant is within this rhombic area, the complete footing is under pressure.the 2nd core dimension.
If the resultant is within this elliptical area, a base tilt will occur.the equivalent area A'.
This region is additionally labelled at the edge with a' and b'.the four corner stresses or, in our case (with base tilt), the stresses at the five corners of the pressure zone.
the settlements at the four characteristic points.
The resulting torsion can be read from the pad footing legend at the lower left of the screen.
