Pad Footings

Recently, I've been working on footings during my mentorship. Footings are the foundations of a structure or building (basically holds the structure/building in place). One type of footing that I've been working on is the pad footing. Pad footings are designed to be embedded in the soil, transferring the buildings' load to the soil. Pad footings are usually placed below a gradient beam, made of concrete, and is connected with column that goes through the gradient beam. This can all be seen in the picture below.




Also, on one of my previous posts, I had to redo the panel zone, since my mentor made some changes to make the drawings simpler for me to draw. This can be seen on the picture below.
