FAQ
Q: What information is needed for foundation or retaining wall design?
A: Please provide wall height/depth, architectural floor plans/sketches, structural loads, and soil report parameters (if available).
Q: Which building codes do you use?
A: I specialize in Eurocode 7 (Geotechnical Design) / Eurocode 2 (Concrete) and US Codes (ACI 318 / IBC).
Question: Can you design foundations on sloping or uneven terrain?
Answer: Yes! I can calculate stepped footings, reinforced concrete retaining structures, and slope stability measures to ensure your foundation remains secure on challenging terrain.
Question: What happens if I do not have a formal soil test / geotechnical report?
Answer: If a geotechnical report is unavailable, I will apply safe, conservative soil bearing capacity values based on your local soil type and applicable building codes to ensure full structural safety.
Question: Do your calculations cover structural steel reinforcement details?
Answer: Absolutely. The calculations include precise steel rebar sizing, spacing, cover requirements, and lap lengths for concrete footings, walls, and pads.
Question: Will my local plan reviewer or city council accept these calculations?
Answer: Yes. All calculation notes are presented in a structured, neat PDF report adhering strictly to Eurocodes or US Codes (ACI/AISC), making them ready for structural review and permit submissions.
Question: Can you provide CAD drawings for construction detailing?
Answer: Yes! Standard and Premium packages include or offer 2D AutoCAD structural plans showing layout dimensions, rebar detailing, and section views for your builder.
