Isolation joint required for a concrete pier in a concrete wall?
Isolation joint required for a concrete pier in a concrete wall?
(OP)
I have a 4' concrete pier that will have loads of approx. 50K vert. and 2K horizontally and is supported by a 1'-0" thick spread footing. The pier is located inside a concrete wall of equal height on a 8" strip footing. Just curious I need to isolate the footings at all or if I should plan on the contractor doing both footings in one pour and then coming back and doing the wall and column with or without an isolation joint between them.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
