Design of Individual members:


1. Beams : MZ, FY
2. Columns : FX,MY,MZ
3. Footings : FX, FY, MX, MZ.
Support Conditions:
For design We can take following condition:
1. Isolated Footings on Rock : Fixed case.
2. Isolated Footings on Firm soil (say SBC >25t/m2)
3. Isolated Footings on soft soil : Hinged case.
4. Footings on raft or Pile foundation : Fixed condition.
