DO UNEVEN FOOTINGS HAVE TO BE THE SAME DEPTH? ISOLATED FOOTINGS: These are elements designed to support the load of a single pillar. They do not have to have the same depth in relation to the others in the project. It all depends a lot on the terrain and the structural project. Projects with isolated footings are more economical since they consume less materials. RUNNING FOOTINGS are a structural option for the foundation of continuous elements such as walls, for example. They do have to be kept at the same level, but even so, they can still be uneven using the stepped system. However, be very careful with this type of footing. Since the loads are linear, the running footing is thin in relation to its length, which makes it less rigid and deformations may appear along its length, such as fissures or even cracks in the walls. BOUNDARY FOOTAGE, It is normally dimensioned with a balance beam, since the base of the footing does not coincide with the center of gravity of the column, this distance generates a moment that needs to be combated, the balance beam allows the transmission of the efforts resulting from eccentricity between the column and the footing to the rest of the structure. ASSOCIATED FOOTAGE, It is normally applied in the presence of large loads in relation to the admissible tension of the soil, therefore this type of footing is dimensioned whenever there is a geometric impossibility of using a footing isolated by a column.
