When designing the bottom reinforcement of the raft, the value at the face of the column shall be taken into account as shown in figure 12 below "section 1-1 and section 2-2". Accordingly, all moments represented by the moment contours inside the area of the columns should be disregarded.

Owing to the concentration of forces at the location of columns, it is crucial that the soil bearing capacity shall be checked using the conventional stress equation of Navier (equation 2) and not by the spring reactions determined from the computer output.
