Design of Strip footing
(OP)
What is the procedures to design a strip footing for load bearing walls? I know that i have to calculate the loading that comes from the slab beams to the walls, but i don't know how to convert this load into a bearing pressure..the strip footing is designed as an inverted beam??

That is basically correct, but the footing spans not only along the wall, but transverse to it. If the footing is wide enough, then steel has to be provided both directions at the bottom of the footing - sometimes the top too depending on the loading situation.
Strictly speaking, the loading would be due to the reactions from a beam on an elastic foundation, but is seldom taken to that level.
