Footing

Hello My name is Ariel Aryasatya, I from 2 KBS

3. Today I am going to describe about foundation
especially footing. The first thing I want to tell you
is the function of foundation. The general function
of foundation is to carry the weight of the
structural load. The main reason why the
foundation is important because of the structural
load. When the foundation is not strong enough
or when build a building there is no foundation in
the building has been built, that building can be
easily demolished without disturbed. So that is
the important of the foundation in the building.
Now I will describe about the parts of the
foundation that is called footing. The Footing is a
part of foundation which has a function to spread
load to largest area that will increase the bearing
capacity of soil. This is the different function with
foundation itself. Now I will talk about the kind of
footing, in this picture there are three kind of
footing. They are Pad footing, Stepped footing
and Sloped footing which has a column on each
footing. In this classification we can see that
footing is classified based on shape. OK now I will
to show you the detail of footing by my video, So
check it out.
I will show the detail of the footing by this
video. This video has been taken from civil
engineering application that is called Tekla
structure. What I will to show you this a spread
foundation. The type of footing I will show to you
is a Pad Footing and in the brown part is called
footing.The size of this footing is 1.5mx1.5m and
the height or the thickness is 50 cm. Now, you can
see the rebar. I will divide it to two section, first
section is rebar in the column and second section
is rebar in footing itself. In here you can see the
rebar of the column which is a longitudinal rebar.
There are twelve rebars in here and there are
there main rebars on each side. Those rebars are
tied with stirrups and we can see there are four
stirrups in there. This is an example for the
connection of column to footing. You can also see
that rebar from column is continued to footing
which is bent with 90 degrees and continued
again with extension around 80 cm, the function
is like the anchor which can lock and set the
column and footing each other into one part.
Second rebar is in the footing area. The yellow bar
is primary bar and the green bar is secondary bar.
There are tied by stirrups. You can see two
stirrups in there with the size smallest than the
primary and secondary rebars which tie primary
and secondary bar. The size of footing, column,
rebar, or maybe the space between rebar, it
depend form the magnitude of moment.
I think that is enough about my description
about footing.Thank You
