Square Reinforced Concrete Footing - Amit Mathur - 12-03-2014

Square Reinforced Concrete Footing

In this type of footing, the reinforcement should be uniformly distributed over the width
of the footing in each direction.

Since the bending moment is the same in each direction, the reinforcing bar size and
spacing should be the same in each direction.

Although the effective depth is not the same in both directions, it is common practice to use the same average effective depth for design computations for both directions.
