Footings transfer structural loads from a building to the ground. This document discusses various types of footings and their design procedures. Spread footings are the most common type and are proportioned to have an area large enough that soil and building settlement will be minimized. The general design process involves checking that factored loads are less than the soil's allowable bearing capacity and footing thickness is sufficient to resist punching and beam shear. Reinforcement is calculated and placed to resist bending stresses. Combined and strap footings are also discussed along with their unique design considerations. Brick footings can be used for small residential loads.

Year & Semester: 7
2. What is footing??
It is the lower part of the
foundation which is constructed
below the Ground level in
solid surface.
3. Purpose of footing
Transfer the live and
dead loads of the
structure to the soil
over a large enough
area so that neither
the soil nor the building
will move.
Resist settlement &
lateral load.
5. Data/information Required for
footing design
1. Allowable Bearing capacity of soil(Building
codes of various organizations in different
countries gives the allowable bearing
capacity that can be used for
proportioning footings)
2. Total load(live load + dead load)
3. Length and width of column
6. General Design procedure of Spread
footing
Method USD or WSD
Economical
Step:(USD)
Area=Total load /
Factored load()=(1.2*DL + 1.6*LL)
Net under pressure ( )
= Factored load/Area
7. Punching shear :
The column rested on the footing tends to punch through the footing
due to the shear stress that act around the footing, the fracture forms a
truncated pyramid shaped failure section.

12. Reinforcement calculation
For rectangular footing:
M=

As=
0.9(

)
a=
.85
L should be changed for Long and short direction.
In case of short direction calculate As(band),which is provided along
the band-width length. Band width is always shortest dimension.
As(bend)=

Rest (T () ()) of the re-bar is provided at
remaining portion.
14. Combined footing
If two columns are so close to each other that their individual footing overlaps
then they are combined to form one.
Combined footing is also provided if one footing goes beyond the property line.
The load is evenly distributed.
A combine footing may be rectangular or trapezoidal in plan
15. Design of combined footing
Punching is to be checked for both interior and
exterior footing
Punching shear:
=load from column- area of critical section

24. Design steps:
1. Calculate dead load from slab,floor,wall,beam etc.(P)
2. Stress on brick=
駒
3. Assume self wt. of foundation(10 to 20% of P)
4. Total load=P+ SW
5. Width of footing=

6. Check: (volume of foundation*unit wt. of brick)< self wt.
(ok),Otherwise increase width.
