Square footing:
They are usually used to hold poles such as large electric poles, porch columns, etc.
Continuous footing:
These are usually used around the basement/foundation of a structure to keep moisture out.

Consider, M people (aka pax) who want to travel by car from O to D. They all start working at
D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D
is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time].
In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when
departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person
arrived when departing at time t). Assume 0 < a < 1 < ß. Further assume the departure time
choice problem under the equilibrium conditions. Prove that the arrival time of people who
depart when most of the M people start their trips is equal to Q.
