How do you solve footing?
How to Calculate Footing Size
- Determine the width and length of the cement slab in inches.
- Divide the width by 12 to convert it to feet.
- Divide the length by 12 to convert it to feet.
- Determine the depth or thickness that is required for the footing in inches.
- Multiply the width by the length and then by the depth.
What are the types of isolated footing?
The categories of isolated foundation footings are the following:
- Pad Footing. A pad or flat isolated footing is constructed by plain or reinforced concrete.
- Sloped Footing. Sloped isolated footing requires less concrete and reinforcements bars than pad footing.
- Stepped Footing.

How do you calculate isolated footing quantity?
Footing Calculation Example
- Volume = H/3 (A1+A2+(√A1 x A2)
- A1 = 2 x 1.5 = 3 Sqm.
- A2 = 0.5 x 0.3 = 0.15 Sqm.
- H = 0.15m.
- Now Volume = 0.15/3 x (3+0.15+(√3 x 0.15)
- Now Volume = 0.05 x (3.15+0.67)
- Volume = 0.19 m3
- Volume (V) = 0.19 m3
What is stepped isolated footing?
The stepped footing is a simple type of isolated footing which is provided over soil having less bearing capacity. The main purpose of the Stepped Foundation is to avoid the direct contact of the column with the underneath soil to prevent the corrosive effect and effectively transfer the load into the ground.
What is meant by isolated footing?
Isolated footing is the single or individual footing which transfers load to the underground soil. It is provided when a single column is to be provided. A foundation is the part of the substructure which makes a direct contact or rested inside the ground.

How do you calculate the area of an isolated footing?
A1 = L1 x B1 = Sq.m /Sq. mm
- A1 = L1 x B1 = Sq.m /Sq. mm.
- A1 = Truncated Pyramid Bottom Area.
- A1 = L2 x B2 = Sq.m /Sq. mm.
- A2 = Truncated Pyramid Top Area.
- h = Height of Truncated Pyramid = M. / MM.
What are the characteristics of isolated footings?
Isolated footings are independent footings which are provided for each column. 1- Columns are not closely spaced. 2- Loads on footings are less. 3- The Safe bearing capacity of the soil is generally high. 3- Reinforcement Details of footing with a satisfying moment and shear force consideration.
What are the factors to be considered when designing footings?
1- Area of footing. 2- Thickness of footing. 3- Reinforcement Details of footing with a satisfying moment and shear force consideration. 4- Check for development length and shearing stresses. All these things carried out with considering the loads on footings, Safe bearing capacity (SBC) of the soil, Grade of concrete and Steel.
Which type of footing is used to support a single column?
An isolated footing is used to support a single column. Isolated footings are independent footings which are provided for each column. This type of footing is used when 1- Columns are not closely spaced.
What is the minimum cover required for a concrete footings?
All these things carried out with considering the loads on footings, Safe bearing capacity (SBC) of the soil, Grade of concrete and Steel. Minimum cover to main reinforcement shall not be less than 50mm on the surface of the contact with the earth face. The diameter of main reinforcement shall not be less than 10mm.
