A reinforced concrete wall footing is founded 6 ft below grade. If the footing supports a 10-in.-thick concrete wall that carries a uniform load of D = 20 k/f, L = 8 k/f and weight of concrete is 150 pct. Estimate the required width and total depth of the footing? The net bearing capacity of the soil is 3,000 psf.

Masonry wall construction

Masonry walls of various sorts are utilized in building construction. Masonry walls are the most enduring feature of any structure or building. It separates a structure from the outside world. In masonry construction, the common masonry materials used are building stone, brick, cast stone, glass block, and concrete block. Masonry construction is a type of construction that has the highest durability.
