- is the underground position of the foundation.

Kinds of footing:
1. Column footing – are concrete slab that support the column where the weight of the house is
transmitted from floor system to the truss members.
2. wall footing – they support the wall above the ground line.

Tools & instrument used in laying out wall footing:

1. transit – a survey instrument used to measure distance & angles.
– is used to lay out the exact position of the excavation line, footer line & foundation wall
line.
2. Pull push rule – is used to measure the exact position of the excavation line, footer line &
foundation wall line.
3. String & batter board – are the used to give the exact position of the excavation line, footer line &

– it support the wall above the ground line, the level of the earth around the structure.
– a continuous concrete support of the CHB wall of various thickness & width, the thickness &
width of the wall footing depends upon the size of the concrete blocks & the load it has to
carry.

MATERIALS FOR WALL FOOTING:

1. Concrete
- is commonly used for footing because it can be poured to maintain a firm contact with the
supporting soil.
- Is also effective because it can withstand heavy weights and is decay- proof.

2. Steel reinforcement
- Is added to the concrete footing to keep the concrete from cracking & to provide additional
strength.
- as a reinforcement is a requirement for all types of concrete & masonry work as provided
by the Philippine building code.
