Grade Beam Design Based on ACI 318 & CBC 1633A.2.12

DESIGN CRITERIA
THE CBC 1633A.2.12, FACTOR W0, IS ONLY FOR FOOTING SHEAR AND BENDING CHECK, AND CONNECTION DESIGN.
1.
2.

3.

USING (W0/1.4) E TO CHECK SOIL CAPACITY AND OVERTURNING IS ADEQUATE.

WHEN LATERAL FRAME LOADS ARE NOT BIG, USING SQUIRE PADS WITH GRADE BEAM TIED THEM TOGETHER
WILL COST LESS THAN COMBINED FOOTING. THE SQUIRE PADS TAKE VERTICAL LOAD TO CENTRIC SOIL PRESSURE,
WHILE THE BEAM BALANCED MOMENTS AND NEGLECTING SOIL PRESSURE ON THE BEAM. SEE THIS SHEET BELOW.
WHEN LATERAL FRAME LOADS ARE BIG, USING COMBINED FOOTING IS EFFICIENT. SEE SHEETS OF COMBINED
FOOTING & COMBINED FOOTING OPTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

Footing Design Based on CBC 1633A.2.12

CBC 1633A.2.12 Foundations and superstructure-to-foundation connections

The foundation shall be capable of transmitting the design base shear and the overturning forces from the structure into the supporting soil.
The In addition, the foundation and the connection of the superstructure elements to the foundation shall have the strength to resist,
dition to gravity loads, the lesser of the following seismic loads:
1.
The strength of the superstructure elements.
2.
The maximum forces that would occur in the fully yielded structural system.
3.
o times the forces in the superstructure elements due to the seismic forces as prescribed in this chapter.
EXCEPTIONS:
1.
Where structures are designed using R 2.2 such as for inverted pendulum-type structures.
2.
When it can be demonstrated that inelastic deformation of the foundation and superstructure-tofoundation connection will not result
in a weak story or cause collapse of the structure.
3.
Where the basic structural system as described in Table 16A-N consists of light-framed walls with shear panels.
Where moment resistance is assumed at the base of the superstructure elements, the rotation and flexural deformation of the foundation as
well as deformation of the superstructure-to-foundation connection shall be considered in the drift and deformation compatibility analyses.

NOTE
THERE IS A STATEWIDE CONSENSUS THAT THIS SECTION WILL ONLY BE APPLICABLE TO MEMENT FRAMES (SMRF AND OMRF),
ECCENTRIC BRACED FRAMES (EBF), AND HEAVILY LOADED CONCENTRIC BRACED FRAMES (OCBF AND SCBF). THIS SECTION
WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE TO WOOD SHEAR WALL OR CONCRETE OR MASONRY SHEAR WALLS EXCEPT WHERE THESE WALLS
ARE VERY HEAVILY LOADED. FOR WOOD SHEAR WALLS, VERY HEAVILY LOADED IS DEFINED TO BE OVER 600 PLF OF SHEAR
IN A WALL.
ALTERNATE DESIGN METHOD
IF USING THE SOFTWARE STILL GET UNACCEPTABLE BIG FOOTING SIZE, JUST DESIGN THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DRAG AND
LATERAL FRAME WITHOUT OVER STRENGTH, OR DESIGN DIAPHRAGM SHEAR CAPACITY AT THE LATERAL FRAME SIDES AS
SMALLER AS POSSIBLE. THEN DEVELOP THE SUPERSTRUCTURE STRENGTH TO FOUNDATION LOADS. USE REGULAR SOFTWARE

AT www.engineering-international.com TO DESIGN THE FOOTING. (CBC 1633A.2.12 Item 1 & 2)
