Footing Rocking Rotation Capacity (ASCE 41-23 & TBDY)

The results of the rocking rotation capacity checks for individual and strip footings, according to the selected Code, can be visualised in this module. Users may select for which Limit State, or Performance objective, to view the results and choose filters, which include the determination of the analysis, the floor and the local axis. The available limit states are those already selected in the Limit States module in Code Requirements. In addition, in the drop-down menu for the analysis selection apart from the executed analyses there is an option called Critical Analysis, which is the envelope of the results of all the analyses. The elements that have exceeded their rocking rotation capacity are marked with red both in the table view and the 3D view format, whereas different visualisation options are available. For instance users may select to display the footings’ performance ratios or each footing’s critical analysis on the 3D plot, or to display the footings with different colours, depending on the value of their performance ratio for the selected limit state.
