Geometry of column and/or slab
Nominal length of column = Lnom (mm)
Maximum length of column = Lmax (mm)
Diameter of column =Dc (mm)
Maximum diameter of undercut = Duc (mm)
Stub leg valley angle (to vertical) = (deg)
Width of concrete pad = Ws (mm)
Breadth of concrete pad = Bs (mm)
Width of undercut to slab = Buc (mm)
Depth of concrete pad = Ds (mm)
Geometry and soil properties for foundation
Total depth of foundation = Df (mm)
Depth of soil overburden = Dsoil (mm)
Soil volume reduction for cone interference = Vred (m3)
Specific wt of undisturbed soil = s (kN/m3)
Specific wt of backfill material = bf (kN/m3)
Specific wt of rock = r (kN/m3)
Ultimate shear strength soil/soil = Sss (kPa)
Ultimate friction concrete/soil = Fcs (kPa)
Ultimate friction concrete/rock = Fcr (kPa)
