GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF COMBINED FOOTINGS
RECTANGULAR COMBINED FOOTING (TWO COLUMNS)
TRAPEZOIDAL COMBINED FOOTING (TWO COLUMNS)
STRAP FOOTING (MORE THAN TWO COLUMNS AND MAY BE RECTANGULAR
OR TRAPEZOIDAL)
COMBINED FOOTINGS | RECTANGULAR COMBINED
EXTENSION IS PERMITTED BOTH SIDES
Determine required area of combined footing

R = Q1 + Q2
COMBINED FOOTINGS | RECTANGULAR COMBINED
Using Varignon’s theorem, find Xr.

If weight of footing and soil is given, consider them:


COMBINED FOOTINGS | RECTANGULAR COMBINED
In order to make sure that the pressure remains uniform, R should act at the center of
the footing, and L can be computed as:

L1 = extension on the left (normally depends on


the location of the property line)

The footing width (B) can be determined:

EXTENSION IS PERMITTED ON ONE SIDE ONLY

Same steps can be followed by using


Varignon’s Theorem to find Xr

If footing size and soil fill is known:

Size of footing L can be computed as:

EXTENSION IS NOT PERMITTED ON BOTH SIDES

The resulant force R cannot be located at the


center of footing to make a uniform pressure.
Therefore, just make sure that the maximum
pressure qmax < qallowable

Use Varignon’s Theorem to find Xr.


(Assume to locate the R nearer to the column with
the “heavier loads”)
Find eccentricity e:

NOTE: No need to consider footing weight and soil since their centroid is at
the center of the footing so they have zero moment.

EXTENSION IS NOT PERMITTED ON BOTH SIDES

Check the case of the eccentricity and solve for B


CASE 1: e < L/6

LET qmax = qallowable

EXTENSION IS NOT PERMITTED ON BOTH SIDES

Check the case of the eccentricity and solve for B


CASE 2: e > L/6

LET qmax = qallowable
