I have an 8 ft square footing with a square 16 inch column. I need to find the allowable shear load for the footing. The answer states that you need to use Eqn 55.17 in the CERM. I see that, but what confuses me is that the answer multiplies Eqn 55.17 by (the critical perimeter of the footing * the length of the column)
Anybody see what I'm trying to say? Why did they add this extra step that was not in CERM Eqn 55.17? :wacko:
Any help would be appreciated....Thanks
