Eccentric footing
Eccentric footing
(OP)
I have a line of columns on the property line which doesnt allow me to do concentric pad footings. The design wil have to deal with zero length on the side of the property line. I've read about using a combined footing but I dont have another column to do this. I also read about using a counterweigth and form like an I shaped structure. I'm trying to look for the best solution. How can I design this footing?

Another option is to build a continuous grade beam--the bearing pressure is equal to the sum of the column reactions divided by the area of grade beam bearing on grade. The grade beam will bend upward between the columns, and must be designed for this.

If the structure is multistory or the loads are large, you might consider other solutions.
