A widened concrete base at the bottom of a column or wall that spreads weight over a larger area of ground.
A concrete element at the base of a foundation that spreads column, wall, or pier loads over a larger area of soil to reduce bearing pressure. Footings are typically wider than the element they support and are reinforced with steel rebar. Spread footings, continuous wall footings, and combined footings are common types.
Each steel column sits on a 6-foot-square reinforced concrete spread footing bearing on compacted fill.
