Wall Footings
Wall footings are commonly required to
support direct concentric loads.
An exception to this is the footing for a
retaining wall.
A wall footing may be of either plain or
reinforced concrete.
Since it has bending in only one direction, it is
generally designated in much the same
manner as a one-way slab, by considering a
typical 12-in.-wide strip along the wall length.

Example 1
Design a plain concrete wall footing to carry a
12-in. concrete block masonry wall, as shown
in the figure. The service loading may be
taken as 10 kips/ft dead load (which includes
the weight of the wall) and 22.5 kips/ft live
load. Use f c = 3000 psi. The allowable soil
pressure is 5000 psf (5.0 ksf), and the weight
of earth we = 100 lb/ft3.

Example 2
Design a reinforced concrete wall footing to
carry a 12-in. concrete block masonry wall, as
shown in the figure. The service loading is 10
kips/ft dead load (which includes the weight of
the wall) and 22.5 kips/ft live load. Use =
3000 psi, fy = 60,000 psi, weight of earth =
100 lb/ft, and allowable soil pressure = 5000
psf. The bottom of the footing is to be 4 ft.
below the finished ground line.

Example 3 (contd)
Since the footing is concentrically loaded, the
soil pressure is considered uniformly
distributed assuming the footing is rigid.
From the soil test borings and Table 1, the
bearing capacity of the soil is 5 tons/ft2 (
10,000 lb/ft3) at the level of the footing.
Assume the average weight of the soil and
concrete above the footing is 135 pcf.

Example 3 (contd)
Since the top of the footing has to be below
the frost line (minimum 3 ft below grade), the
net allowable pressure is
Pn = 10,000 (5 135 + 100) = 9225 psf
