Problem Description
The self weight of the footing and the pedestal weight is not being factored when carrying out sliding check for isolated footings. The issue has only been observed for sliding check for isolated footings when the self weight factor is not equal 1.
Steps to Reproduce
Restoring force = downward force* coefficient of friction
Downward Force = Footing Wt. + Pedestal Wt. + Soil Wt. + Axial Force in Crit. LC
When one specifies a self weight factor as shown in the picture below, the selfweight factor should be applied as follows:
Downward Force = 0.6*Footing Wt. + 0.6*Pedestal Wt. + 0.6*Soil Wt. + Axial Force in Crit. LC
However, the software is currently applying the 0.6 factor only to the Soil Wt. , as explained next
Downward Force = Footing Wt. + Pedestal Wt. + 0.6*Soil Wt. + Axial Force in Crit. LC
The self weight factor should be applied to the footing weight and pedestal weight as well.
Workaround
None
Solution
Will be addressed in the next release STAAD Foundation Advanced.
