Column footing as a trench footing
Column footing as a trench footing
(OP)
Has anyone ever done a column footing in form of a trench footing rather then a formed one? The question has come up on a project where due to time constraints the contractor wants to do trench footings at walls. That should be OK, I have done that before. But now they are wondering if they can do something similar with the 5'x5' column footings. I guess technically it should work, you still have the same rebar, the same area.........but am I missing something?

So I guess in the attached sketch, I can replace the pier and footing with one pour then?
