Arre, those are old-school manual methods, yaar — like lifting with just a bar, no plates! We used them for basic, simple structures. Now, for any real site work with complex loads, we just use FEM software — it's like a smart gym tracker for the whole building!
On site, I just need accurate results fast from the software to keep things moving. My old college theory stays in the books.
My life says: If the software output is wrong, the whole column footing fails — no second chance! So I trust the matrix method in the computer, but I always check with my site experience.
