Hello All,
I already design my tie beam and assigned multiple segments and define spring supports simulating soil at the segment nodes.
When I export this file to staad foundation it shows a strap footing with number of nodes.
My staad pro design shows the dimension of this tie beam as 400x200mm with 2-12# bar top and bottom.
My question is should I design only the footing at both ends of this tie beam? Is my structure safe already?
Thanks in advance
