The Importance of Concrete Footings
Footings are important structural supports that create a load-bearing point between the ground and a structure. Even if your building boasts solid construction, it isn’t truly solid without a strong concrete footing, which serves as the primary contributor to a structure’s longevity and durability.
Design Considerations in Footing Construction
Before installing a commercial concrete footing, it is important to consider a number of factors to ensure the structure is adequately supported:
- Soil Conditions. Soil conditions dictate the depth and type of footings required to ensure the structure is being adequately supported.
- Building codes and regulations. It is important to stay compliant with local building codes and regulations to ensure the structure meets safety standards and legal requirements.
- Environmental factors. Climate, moisture levels, and temperature fluctuations can affect soil stability and concrete performance over time.
