Stepped Footing Detail
Stepped Footing Detail
(OP)
Hi,
I keep seeing essentially the same detail for a stepped strip footing which indicates for a vertical step of x, there needs to be a horizontal component of 2x. Shouldn't there be a limit how much of a step you can have. And having said that, how would you treat a strip footing on a hillside that is steeper than 1(V):2(H)
Thanks in advance

This also encourages some thought as to how the site grading/landscaping will be handled. Moderately high retaining walls (6' to 10') tend to create longterm problems for future owners.
