WHY THE WIDITH OF COLUMN IS TAKEN FOR DESIGN OF ISOLATED
FOOTING??

Answer Posted / minaz akbar

depth of the footing is decided by punching shear/diagonal
shear and the bending moment..... the max depth is given by
punching shear.... and all the three methods depend on the
width of the column. the thickness of the footing should be
able to resist the tendency of the column to penetrate and
punch a hole through the foundation block.
