Footing Size Calculator
Determine isolated footing dimensions based on column loads and soil bearing capacity. Calculate concrete volume, reinforcement requirements, and check bearing pressure.
Unfactored axial load from column
Moderate density - Allowable: 200 kN/m²
From geotechnical report (overrides soil type)
Enter column load and soil properties to size footing
Notes:
- Calculations based on Eurocode 7 and Eurocode 2
- Square footing assumed for isolated foundations
- Punching shear at 2d from column face
- Groundwater may reduce effective bearing capacity
- Verify soil parameters with geotechnical investigation
