Reinforced concrete structural analysis and design
Reinforced concrete structural analysis and design
(OP)
Hi. do houses' strip footings (those that are supported on mass concrete piers) that are supporting brick and timber wall frames require design for torsion or is the earth restraint sufficient?

2. Kind of a run on sentence.
3. Should footings require a torsional analysis? Probably.
4. Is it ever done? No.

AnimusVox, the OP is talking about local torsion on the grade beams, not global torsion on the building.

Again, unless this is a lot of brick and a very wide strip footing, usually not.
