Instructions Enter data related to your problem in Sheet named
“Input”, which is 2nd sheet. Then click on sheet
named “Report”. Here you may need to change a
few values having "yellow" background.
Design a RC wall fooring for a 200 mm thick masonary wall to carry a load of 117
kN/m. The allowable soil pressure, qa is 175 kN/m^2. Assume M20 concrete, Fe 415
steel, and unit weight of soil =17 kN/m^3.
Values with yellow background may be altered
