Hello
How does RAM Elements check a footing for uplift? I have a foundation that for load combination S8 has 14.27 kips of uplift. According to the program, it is giving a "safety factor for bearing capacity (uplift) : 1.26". I cannot determine how it is giving a FS of 1.26 for uplift. The footing is 5 ft x 5 ft x 2 ft (150 pcf) and it has 1 foot of soil on top of it (110 pcf). I have attached the report for the footing.
How does the program check for uplift?
Thanks,
Mike
