Concrete pier under sea water
(OP)
I would like to see if anybody can give me some reference to desig a footing and foundation in a building which its foundation under the sea water. I am thinking a round pier and wrapped with some kind of material like PVC.

Concrete in Sea Water? Then you have to consider the potential of corrosion by chloride content in sea water (for the reinforcement)! In general you have to take a concrete with higher strength category.
wrapping the concrete with PVC is not sufficent because the conjunction of PVC and concrete is a problem.
