Rectangular And Continuous Footing Design
January 24th, 2008Rectangular and continuous footing design is one of the most important aspects of any building project. The footing supports the foundation and bears the entire weight of the structure. Make a mistake in the design or construction of the footing, and the results could be disastrous.

The purpose of the footing
The footing provides a stable flat supportive base that distributes the weight of the load of the structure into the surrounding soil. The weight distribution is spread out through the soil as the distance increases from the footing. For this reason, the texture of the soil is crucial to the success of any rectangular or continuous footing design.
