Mathcad - Concrete Footing

This document analyzes the stability of a crane footing. It calculates overturning moment, resisting moment, factors of safety for overturning and sliding. It also analyzes soil pressure, eccentricity, punching shear, and compression and tension forces to ensure the footing design is adequate and meets code requirements. All calculated values are found to satisfy minimum requirements.
