strip footings under small object?
strip footings under small object?
(OP)
I am dealing with a small object (something like a shed). Walls are masonry and on top is RC slab 140 mm thick.
Object dimensions are: 5,50 m x 1,90 m (top view) and approx. 2,50 high.
Footings wont be heavily loaded but Im wondering about soil settlements if I choose option #1.
Id like to choose option #2 but Im worried that strip footings along the whole object are not necessary at all.



Also - canopy's columns are anchored to this object so I really dont want that glass on top of canopy crack or something becauese of different soil settlements
Opinions?

RE: strip footings under small object?
If some movement can be tolerated, and it's lightly loaded, you could look at a thickened edge slab on properly compacted base material.
Either way, you'll want some input from a local geotechnical engineer
