What is a "footing"?

A footing is a reinforced concrete or masonry structure located below the foundation of a building. Its primary purpose is to support the foundation and distribute the weight of the building evenly to the underlying soil or bedrock. By spreading the load over a larger area, footings help prevent settling, shifting, or cracking that can occur if the weight is not properly managed. The size and design of a footing are determined by factors such as soil conditions, building weight, and local building regulations. Properly constructed footings are crucial for the stability and longevity of a structure.
