Types of Footing
Wall footings are used to
support structural walls that
carry loads for other floors
or to support nonstructural
walls.

Types of Footing
Isolated or single footings
are used to support single
columns. This is one of the
most economical types of
footings and is used when
columns are spaced at
relatively long distances.

Types of Footing
Combined footings usually
support two columns, or
three columns not in a row.
Combined footings are used
when two columns are so
close that single footings
cannot be used or when one
col mn is located at or near
column
a property line.

Types of Footing
Cantilever or strap footings
consist of two single
footings connected with a
beam or a strap and support
two single columns. This
type replaces a combined
footing and is more
economical.
economical

Types of Footing
Continuous footings
support a row of three or
more columns. They have
limited width and continue
under all columns.

Types of Footing
Rafted or mat foundation
consists of one footing
usually placed under the
entire building area. They
are used, when soil bearing
capacity
it is
i low,
l
column
l
loads are heavy single
footings cannot be used,
piles are not used and
differential settlement must
be reduced.

Types of Footing
Pile caps are thick slabs
used to tie a group of piles
together to support and
transmit column loads to the
piles.

Distribution of Soil Pressure

When the column load P is applied
on the centroid of the footing, a
uniform
if
pressure is
i assumedd to
develop on the soil surface below the
footing area.
area However the actual
distribution of the soil is not
uniform,
f
but depends
p
on mayy
factors especially the composition of
the soil and degree of flexibility of
the footing.
