    Ce162p Module 2 Lecture 3 Strap Footing

    A strap footing connects two columns located along a property line to distribute the loads evenly. It uses a connecting beam to transfer eccentric loads from one footing to another, making the soil pressure uniform at each footing. The beam is placed on compressible material and distributes the column loads so the net pressure is equal with factored loads, though not necessarily with unfactored loads. This prevents tilting from uneven pressure when the exterior footing would otherwise extend beyond the property line.

    CE162P Strap Footing

    CE162P-2
    Principles of Foundation Design

    In a strap, cantilever, or connected footing, the Such an eccentric position would result in a
    exterior footing is placed eccentrically under its strongly uneven distribution of bearing pressure,
    column so that it does not projects beyond the which could lead to tilting of footing.
    property line.
    Fundamental Insights

    To counteract this eccentricity, the footing is


    When two columns are reasonably close, a connected by a beam or a strap to the nearest
    combined footing is designed for both interior footing.
    columns

    When two columns are far apart, a strap is


    designed to transfer eccentric moment
    between two columns
    CE162P-2
    Principles of Foundation Design

    The strap beam that connects the two footings distributes the
    column loads to each footing to make the net soil pressure with
    unfactored loads uniform and equal at each footing and with
    factored design loads uniform but not necessarily equal.
    Fundamental Insights

    The strap beam is casts on compressible material capable


    of carrying the weight of the strap beam only.

    A strap footing is often used in conjunction with columns that are located along a
    building's property or lot line.
