Does the "Base Pressure Summary for Service Load Conditions" in the calculation sheet show gross bearing pressure or net bearing pressure?
The pressure listed in the Base Pressure Summary table in the calculation sheet is gross pressure. If the user selects the net
bearing capacity input from under Global Settings > Rigid Foundation Settings, the soil bearing capacity input provided by the user is considered as net allowable bearing capacity which is internally converted into gross allowable bearing capacity by the software. The gross bearing pressure values reported in the calculation sheet are then checked against this gross allowable bearing capacity value.
