It is used to ensure that the footing can adequately support the applied load based on soil conditions.

Why is a Column Footing Size Calculator Used?

This calculator is used to determine the appropriate footing size, ensuring that the column or pillar has a stable and secure foundation to withstand the applied load and maintain the structural integrity of a building or structure.

Column Footing Size Calculator

Use this calculator to estimate the required dimensions (width and depth) of a column footing for your construction project.







How to Use a Column Footing Size Calculator:

  1. Input the applied load on the column in pounds or newtons.
  2. Input the soil bearing capacity in pounds per square foot or newtons per square meter.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button.
  4. The calculator will provide an estimate of the required footing dimensions (width and depth).

Example Calculation:

Suppose you have an applied load of 15,000 pounds on a column, and the soil's bearing capacity is 3,000 pounds per square foot.

Enter 15000 as the load and 3000 as the soil bearing capacity into the calculator, click "Calculate," and it will estimate that you need a footing approximately 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep to support the load.
