Hi All I am designing a footing for pre-engineered structure and mainly wind loads govern in such scenarios. Before I was using MAT 3D for footing design but now I want to design the footing using SAFE. I just want to know that how to apply wind loads to the footing and what about the horizontal forces that are coming. Should I have to convert them into moments by multiplying the horizontal reaction with the Depth of footing (vertical distance from top of the pedestal to the footing base)? Secondly, how to check the adequacy of the footing in SAFE and uplift??? Thanks
