combined footing vs strap (tied) footing
combined footing vs strap (tied) footing
(OP)
i believe combined is more appropriate here as oppose to strap.
am i right?
i read strap is used if footings are farther apart. but distance is subjective.
any advice.
thanks,

I have a spread sheet that I wrote that covers the design of these footings making them very ease to design. Maybe that's why I like to use combined footings.

where can i find criteria for bearing area?
say you meet all other stability check.

Also, the spreadsheet I wrote does not allow for shears or moments to be applied in two directions.

Then design for the critical negative and positive moments. Check the shear and that is it.

That's why I'm interested if there is any publication out there that discuss this.
Or this is just an engineer preference.
