ISOLATED FOOTING
Isolated or single-column footing is a square, rectangular, or circular slab of concrete that supports
an individual column. These are widely used for columns with light load and are not closely spaced.

INTRODUCTION
Rectangular footing are used where the available space dictates such as shapes or where
the cross sections of the columns are clearly rectangles. A rectangular footing may
required where there is a higher load to spread the load over a larger area.
In general, square footings are
provided under square columns,
and rectangular footings are
provided under rectangular
columns. It does not decrease
the chance of providing square
footing under a rectangular
column, but it will not be
economical.

SOLUTION:
7. Determine the minimum number of bars required
within the band width B of the short direction
NSCP 2015 Section 413.3.3.3

(b) For reinforcement in the short direction, a portion of the total reinforcement, γsAs, shall
be distributed uniformly over a band width equal to the length of short side of footing,
centered on the centerline of column or pedestal. Remainder of reinforcement required in
the short direction, (1 - γs)As, shall be distributed uniformly outside the center band width
of footing, where is calculated by:
2
γs = where β is the ratio of long to short side of footing.
