32Design for Rectangular Footings
33Design Philosophy
- Similar to those for square footings
- Check one-way and two-way to determine minimal d
T - Design long steel bars and evenly distribute
them - Design short steel bars distribute the portion
(E) of the - total short steel area within the inner zone
