min footing thickness for continuous spread footings
min footing thickness for continuous spread footings
(OP)
Does the ACI 318-08 15.7 minimum 6" depth of concrete over your reinforcing for footings apply to continuous spread footings? 15.1 clearly states that the requirement applies to isolated (pad) footings, but I'm wondering if it also applies to a typical continuous footings at, say, the perimeter foundation of a wood framed building.
Thanks
Thanks

I suggest the question should be "Why do you need a footing to be more than 8" deep?" We use 8" thick structural elements above ground, why is there anything wrong with an 8" deep x 16" wide strip footing under an 8" wall?
