The unit covers following points

– **Types of Footing**: Explore different footing types including isolated, combined, strip, and raft footings, each suited for specific structural needs.

– **SFD & BMD of Footing**: Understand the shear force diagram (SFD) and bending moment diagram (BMD) for footings, crucial for analyzing load distribution and moments.

– **Eccentric Footing**: Delve into the design and application of eccentric footings used when the load is not symmetrically distributed over the foundation.

– **IS Code Provision**: Learn about the Indian Standard (IS) code provisions guiding the design, analysis, and construction of footings to ensure safety and compliance.

– **LSM & WSM**: Familiarize with the Limit State Method (LSM) and Working Stress Method (WSM) for designing footings, emphasizing safety, serviceability, and efficiency.
