With the Single Footing Parameters command, the design parameters used in the Concrete Single Footing Design are determined. Cover, maximum and minimum reinforcement ratio etc. parameters are determined from the individual basic parameters window.
Location of Single Footing Parameters Dialog
Ribbon menu Analysis and Design tab Design Parameters title under Curtain parameters by clicking on the command Curtain Parameters can be found in the dialogue.

Concrete cover  It is the distance from the center of gravity of the rebar in the single footing to the outer face of the concrete. |
Min. percentage  It is the parameter that determines the minimum rebar to be placed on a single footing. Under no circumstances can the rebar be less than the limit specified by this parameter. |
Max. reinforcement percentage  In the program, the range of the rebar to be placed on a single footing is selected so that it is not more than the value specified in this parameter. |
Min. reinforcement percentage  In the program, the range of the rebar to be placed on a single footing is selected so that it is not less than the value specified in this parameter. |
Use column moments in analysis  The default state is checked. If it is not checked, only normal forces are taken into account in the foundation calculation from the effects of the column caused by vertical and earthquake loads from the superstructure. Column moments are not taken into account. In this case, the information on Mx and My values is not displayed under the heading Column Loads Under Basement in the Single Footing report. |
Use seismic axial forces in analysis  The default state is checked. If it is not checked, only vertical normal forces are taken into account in the foundation calculation, from the column effects caused by vertical and earthquake loads from the superstructure. Normal forces arising from earthquake loads are not taken into account. |
