Geometry

The Geometry tab manages the dimensions of the foundation plate and the bucket.

You can define the geometry of the plate and the bucket by means of parameters.

Variable	Label
w_x	Foundation plate dimension in x-direction
w_y	Foundation plate dimension in y-direction
t	Thickness of foundation plate
h	Bucket Height
d	Column embedment depth
a_tx/a_ty	Top column clearance in x or y direction
a_bx/a_by	Bottom column clearance in the x or y direction
e_x/e_y	Eccentricity in the x or y direction
_cx/_cx	Column dimension in the x or y direction

Info

The column dimensions cannot be adjusted here. They can only be changed in the Section dialog box of the corresponding member.

Minimum dimensions

The following minimum dimensions must be observed:

d \leq h \leq t - \max \{\begin{cases} 0.15 \\ c_{top} + c_{bottom} + 0.1 \end{cases}

Bucket Height

2 \cdot (a_{tx, y} + |e_{x, y}|) + c_{x, y} + t_{\min} \leq w_{x, y}

a_tx,y	Column allowance in the x or y-direction
e_x,y	Eccentricity in the x or y-direction
c_x,y	Column dimension in the x or y direction
t_min	Minimum slab thickness
w_x,y	Plate dimension in the x- and y-direction
