    This document discusses strip footings, which are continuous concrete foundations under load-bearing walls. Strip footings are commonly used to support walls and closely spaced columns. They are more economical than individual pads when foundations are close together. Types of strip footings include wide, inverted T-beam, deep, and stepped footings used in different soil and slope conditions. Strip footing design is based on loads transferring at a 45 degree angle from the wall into the soil.

    The key takeaways are that a strip footing is a continuous strip of concrete under a continuous wall carrying a uniformly distributed load. It is also known as a continuous footing. The different types include wide, deep, stepped, and inverted T-beam strip footings.

    The different types of strip footing are wide strip footing, deep strip footing, stepped strip footing, and inverted "T" beam strip footing.

    Strip footings are commonly used for the foundations of load-bearing walls and when pad foundations for columns are closely spaced. They are also used on weak ground to increase the foundation bearing area and reduce pressure.

    What is strip footing?

    Astrip footingis a continuous strip of


    concrete under a continuous wall
    carrying a uniformly distributed load.
    Strip footingis also known as
    continuous footing.
    Uses of strip footing

    Strip footings are commonly used for the


    foundations to load-bearing walls.

    They are also used when the pad


    foundations for a number of columns in
    line are so closely spaced that the
    distance between the pads is
    approximately equal to the length of the
    side of the pads.

    It is usually more economic and faster to


    excavate and cast concrete in one long
    strip, than as a series of closely spaced
    isolated pads.

    They are also used on weak ground to
    increase the foundation bearing area, and
    thus reduce the bearing pressure the
    weaker the ground then the wider the strip.

    Footing spread (150mm on each side) is


    usually provided:
    i) To facilitate bricklayer a working space for
    building the lower courses of walls.
    ii) To provide stability to the load-bearing
    walls before it is tie down by floors and
    roof.
    iii) To provide working space for the hand
    excavation operation in deeper trench
    excavation.

    footing
    Use in a situation where is a danger
    of the foundation failing as a beam in

    Deep strip footing
    A narrow footing which is used for
    normal soil and normal loads and is
    made 0.9m deep.
    Stepped strip footing

    Used on a sloping site where the


    steps allow the foundation to follow
    the slope without too much
    excavation, when compared with
    excavations and retaining walls.
    Characteristics of strip
    footing

    The key sizes of a strip foundation for concrete


    cavity wall construction and timber frame cavity
    wall construction are similar.

    The size and position of the strip is directly


    related to the overall width of the wall.

    The principle design features of a strip


    foundation are based on the fact that the load is
    transmitted at 45 degrees from the base of the
    wall to the soil.

    The depth of a strip foundation must be equal to


    or greater than the overall width of the wall.

    The width of the foundation must be three times


    the width of the supported wall.
    How to build strip footing?

    It is vital that the strip foundation is strengthened


    through the inclusion of steel reinforcement.

    A compacted hardcore base of minimum 150mm


    is installed to form a platform for the subfloor
    and the subsequent loads of the dwelling.

    The 150mm concrete subfloor is poured on the


    hardcore in order to provide a strong, smooth
    platform for the insulation.

    A radon barrier is installed to form a continuous


    seal on the entire footprint of the house.

    A Damp Proof Course is installed in order to repel
    any rising moisture. It is vital that the DPC is
    carried up into the blockwork to form a water
    tight seal over the entire floor area.

    The DPC must run through the blockwork at a


    minimum of 150mm above finished ground level.

    100mm of rigid insulation is installed below the


    finished floor to ensure that there is no heat lost
    through the foundation.

    75mm concrete screed then provides the


    finished floor.
