    Hi

    Why is the unit of Kz set to kpa? Isn't it kpa/m

    If I got a bearing capacity of 10ton/m2, how much will be Kz?

    Force needed to move a unit length of a bar by the unit of displacement.

    KZ is not the same as bearing capacity.

    You can use the KZ calculator to estimate this value based on the properties of soil.

    A linear support is not applicable for bars. You should use a bar on elastic ground instead.

    Hi

    how can I combine two continuous footing into one continuous footing if the spacing between them is very small or overlapped each other?

    Could you make a sketch that illustrates this situation?

    You may consider modeling them as a panel on elastic soil instead.
