Position of force components:

dx = 0'
dy = 0'
dz = 0' / top level of
footing

To generate the combinations in the table below, all forces were reduced in relation to the bottom surface of
the footing.
V is the design value of the effective vertical load acting normal to the foundation base (footing self-weight
+ defined vertical load).
