Overview

About the Calculator

The ClearCalcs Continuous Footing Design Calculator enables the fast design and analysis of continuous wall footings to ACI 318-19. The calculator provides fast results for ultimate load, bearing capacity, and serviceability loads

Wall footing design to ACI 318-19 concrete code

Easily design and analyze wall footing design using the latest Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete ACI 318-19.

Fast and accurate wall footing design with easy-to-use input

Specify your wall footing geometry, soil properties, and bottom reinforcements with ClearCalcs' easy-to-use inputs. You can specify your footing width, footing thickness, and concrete strength.

Input applied loads for your wall footing design

Easily input applied loads to your wall footing design, such as vertical load, lateral shear load, or any moment load. The wall footing design considers the self-weight of the wall footing and the soil on top of the footing.

Design calculations to the latest building codes & standards

Wall footing design criteria to the International Building Code (IBC) 2021 with the option to manually override the minimum sliding and overturning factor of safety. Total loads (ASD and LRFD) combinations calculated to ASCE 7-16 criteria.

Traffic light checks for wall footing design

Get instant results for your wall footing design for ultimate load, bearing capacity, and serviceability loads.

Why ClearCalcs?

Frustration to Flow

See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

With ClearCalcs

Effortless, efficient engineering calculations at your fingertips.

100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.

Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.

Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.

Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.

How It Works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
