Footing Steel Work

Footing D-8

Footing Detail: The lower "cage" is the bearing footing steel, with the grade beam steel traveling through (just to the right). The steel column connection is hanging by a wood template. The slab tie-bars complete the assembly.


Footing Steel at B.5.3 & Elevator Pit

Elevator Pit/Footing Steel: Here you can see the wall bearing footing steel "hanging mid-air" above the elevator pit, which is more than 6 feet deep.

Heavy Equipment--Keeping access to the project floor.
This heavy equipment operator, working with a smaller "bobcat", moved earth from the retaining wall footing to the earth deposit area. The San Antonio Building is in the background (designed by Julia Morgan in 1918).

Footing Steel and Column "Implants", vertical steel for concrete shear walls.
Column Implants
Steel Column Implants: This is a major steel column supporting footing and lateral force resistance connection. Note the 1/2" steel plate in the reinforcement bars. This footing is located on line 7 at D.5.
