    Development of an Android Based Mobile Application for Design and Detailing of Pad Foundations to BS8110
    (Epistemics in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2017) Yusuf, A.; Aminulai, H. O.; Abdullahi, A.; Abubakar, Mahmud; Alhaji, B.
    Many innovative computer software have been developed to perform the task of designing and detailing structural elements such as beams, columns, slabs and foundations. This design and detailing can be done using mobile devices but software developed to operate on such devices have not been fully developed. However, this research is aimed at developing an android based mobile application for the design of pad foundations to Bs8110. The mobile application developed designs isolated axially loaded-only; axially loaded with moment pad footings as well as combined pad footings. The mobile application developed was tested using three typical test parameters and results compared to the manual computations. There was no significant variation in the steel sections required and provided for the manual design and that generated by the mobile application. The steel required by manual design for the axially loaded pad footing was 835mm2/m and that generated by the application was 837.2mm2/m. That of the axially loaded with moment gave required steel section as 1019mm2/m using manual design. This android based mobile application would thus give the structural engineer the leverage to design pad footings anywhere and anytime.

    DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANDROID BASED MOBILE APPLICATION FOR THE DESIGN AND DETAILING OF ISOLATED PAD FOUNDATIONS ACCORDING TO EUROCODE 2
    (i-manager’s Journal on Mobile Applications & Technologies, 2019) Yusuf, Abdulazeez; Isiaka, I.; Abubakar, Mahmud; Aminulai, H. O.; Abdullahi, Aliyu; Alayande, T. A.
    In a building construction project, it is the responsibility of the structural engineer to come up with a complete design of all structural elements. When this is done manually it is tasking, time consuming, and produces errors with inconsistent results. However, the design can be done using computer software, but this also comes with some downside; it is expensive and complex to use. Thus, this research developed an android based mobile application for the design of pad foundations to Eurocode 2 to put these challenges in check when designing pad footings. The mobile application designs isolated Axially loaded-only and Axially loaded with bending pad footing to Eurocode 2 accurately, with consistent results and in a timely manner. The application was tested using typical test parameters and results are compared to the manual computations. There was no significant difference in the steel sections provided for both methods. All checks that must be satisfactory in design were all checked and found to be satisfactory.
