Abstract:
A BASIC language computer program for the design of square reinforced concrete column footings is presented. Conforming to ACI 318-83, the program provides size of footing, thickness of footing, number of bars, and size of bars. Necessary data input includes concrete and steel strengths, column or pedestal size, and allowable soil pressure.
