Part 9 Canadian Code Strip Footings
Part 9 Canadian Code Strip Footings
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I have a basic question regarding strip footing design, particularly for Part 9 structures from the NBCC (mostly residential). From my understanding, Part 9 gives design criteria for unreinforced concrete footings. Is it true that if the footing width and thickness meets the Part 9 requirements you can design these footings without any reinforcement? In my limited experience, I've seen many residential drawing packages with rebar in the strip footings.
Thanks!

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.
