Steps to model / analyse and design strap beam :

--------------------------------------------------------------.
Design a trap beam for 2-footings for 2 columns :
- col(1) - (60*30) - EXterior column working reaction = 124 ton.
- col(2) - (90*30) - Interior column working reaction = 186 ton.
- B.C = 2 kg/cm2 = 20 t/m2.
- Fcu = 25 Mpa = 250 kg/cm2.
- Distance between column centers = 6 m.
1-Modelling
- with the approximate method , k (spring) = (100-120)*B.C=100*20=2000 t/m3
- Define the grids to easily draw the footings and define the loads .
- Define new thickness of the footings with depth = 60cm.But , don't forget to
define
parameters of foundation elasticity with Kz = 2000 t/m3.
- Assume the beam section = 50cm * 90cm
- Define node load at the column centers 124 & 186 tons .
- From geometry >> add. attributes >> ber elastic ground
- Add new elastic ground with Kz = 2000 t/m2
.
2-Make analysis and see you results .
