Isolated Pad Footing Design (EC2/EC7)
Ref: MS EN 1992-1-1:2010 Cl 6.4, MS EN 1997-1, Malaysia NA
Bearing: q = N/A ± 6M/(B·L²) | Punching: vEd = β·V/(u₁·d)
Ref: MS EN 1992-1-1:2010 Cl 6.4, MS EN 1997-1, Malaysia NA
Three-check design: (1) Bearing pressure (SLS) against allowable, (2) Flexure (ULS) — cantilever from column face, (3) Punching shear (ULS) at 2d perimeter. Footing self-weight included in bearing check.
