Product Description
Product Overview
This Excel workbook designs concentric or eccentrically loaded isolated column spread footings in accordance with ACI 318-25 and ASCE/SEI 7-22. It checks allowable soil bearing pressure under service load combinations (ASD) and sizes concrete thickness, flexural reinforcement, dowels, and anchorage under strength load combinations (LRFD) in either US Customary or SI Metric units.
Units: US & SI Units
File: 01-Column Footing Design Based on ACI 318-25.xlsx
Design Checks & Calculation Scope
Computes gross/net bearing pressures at footing corners (qmax, qmin) under axial load and biaxial moments (Mx, Mz) for dead, live, roof live/snow, wind (1.0W / 0.6W), and seismic (1.0E / 0.7E) combinations.
Checks critical punching shear perimeter bo at d/2 from column faces and one-way beam shear at distance d using φ = 0.75 (ACI 318-25 Table 21.2.1(b)) and shallow foundation size-effect factor λs = 1.0 (Sec. 13.2.6.2).
Sizes longitudinal and transverse bottom flexural bars (φ = 0.90) with ACI 318-25 Table 24.4.3.2 minimum shrinkage/temperature steel ratio including the 0.0014 floor for high-strength reinforcement.
Evaluates concrete bearing stress (φ = 0.65, Table 21.2.1(c)) including the footing confinement factor √(A2/A1) ≤ 2.0, required interface dowel area, and straight or 90-degree hooked development length with grade factor ψg (Sec. 25.4.2.5).

Building Code Standards & Regional Applicability
Strength reduction factors (φ), capacity equations, and reinforcement detailing limits follow ACI 318-25 / ACI 318M-25 and ASCE/SEI 7-22. Engineers working under national codes derived directly from ACI 318 can adjust concrete strength, steel yield grade, load factors, and bar sizes directly in the input cells:
| Region / Country | Applicable National Standard | Engineering Application |
|---|---|---|
| United States & Territories | IBC 2024 / ACI 318-25 / ASCE 7-22 | Matches current IBC / ACI 318-25 building code provisions in US customary units (kips, in, ksi). |
| Saudi Arabia & GCC | SBC 304 (Saudi Building Code) | SBC 304 adopts ACI 318 strength reduction factors (φ) and detailing provisions directly for EPC and commercial submittals. |
| Philippines | NSCP 2015 (ACI 318 based) | Uses equivalent strength design, shear-friction, and seismic detailing provisions; metric or customary bar inputs supported. |
| Indonesia | SNI 2847:2019 / SNI 1726:2019 | SNI 2847 adopts ACI 318 provisions with compatible flexural, shear, deep-beam, and special wall checks. |
| Colombia & Latin America | NSR-10 / NEC-15 / NTC-C | Follows the ACI 318 framework for seismic confinement, coupling beams, shear walls, and spread foundations. |
| Canada & International | CSA A23.3 / International Projects | Useful as an ACI 318-25 design check on international industrial, oil & gas, and plant foundations. |
Spreadsheet Notes & Engineer Responsibility
- Editable Open Formulas: All worksheets use native Excel formulas without VBA macros or password-locked sheets.
- Worked Example Included: Pre-populated sample inputs and pass/fail checks allow you to review the calculation flow immediately before entering project loads.
- Professional Responsibility: This spreadsheet is an engineering design aid. Input loads, geotechnical parameters, site seismic criteria, reinforcement detailing, and final code compliance remain the responsibility of the Engineer of Record.
