A footing carrying single column
Spread footing
Its function is to “spread” the column load laterally to the soil so that the stress intensity is reduced to a value that the soil can safely carry.
Spread footing
Can be classified as wall and column footing.
Spread footing
Simply a strip of reinforced concrete, wider that the wall, that distributes its pressure.
Wall footing
Usually square, sometimes rectangular, and represents the simplest and most economical type.
Single column footing
Design Procedures:
A. Proportioning of footing
B. Structural design of footing
Concrete cover minimum for foundation
75mm
Concrete cover minimum for beams
40mm

It is obtained by using the services of geotechnical engineer. Will determine safe values from the principles of soil mechanics based on test borings, load tests, and other experimental investigations.
Allowable soil pressure, qa
Where allowable stress or allowable strength design is used.
Basic load combinations
When using these, a one third increase shall be permitted in allowable stresses for all combinations, including W or E
