Isolated footings dwg
Isolated and strip footings are fundamental elements in shallow foundations, designed to transmit structural loads to the ground evenly. isolated footings are used under point columns and are usually square or rectangular in section. their dimensions depend on the load to be supported and the bearing capacity of the ground. they include lower reinforcement with bars distributed in both directions, column anchors, and a thickness that varies according to the structural design. they generally have a socket or pedestal that connects the column to the footing. on the other hand, strip footings are used under load-bearing walls or rows of columns, distributing the stresses linearly. they are built with a continuous slab of reinforced concrete with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. their design seeks to avoid differential settlements, ensuring stability and strength. both types require adequate excavation, a cleaning template, steel cover, and good concrete control to ensure durability.
