Footings | Why are they used?

Be it Burj Khalifa, the Pentagon, or your house, the weight of these structures is ultimately borne by a structural element called a footing. A design mistake in the footing can result in the collapse of the whole building, which is why a proper foundation design is crucial. Footings are the most important part of the foundation. Their job is to distribute the heavy load of the building, concentrated on the columns, to the wider surface area of soil to achieve structural stability. Let’s analyze the importance of footings and their different types. Come along!

As a structurally minded mechanical engineer with real estate exposure I really, really appreciated this civil engineering video. Many thanks! :))

[ebsonline]

I find it crazy that these kinds of short educational animated video are more helpful, informative and interesting than a semester of university lecturers 😅. Great informative vid thanks

[koz]

I studied reinforced concrete design in college and I have to say I'm impressed how much information you guys packed into a short video like this. Very well done

[mitochondria]

Explanation from this guy's side was far more better than my teacher's .

[arch.l.a.deleon]

I'm an arachitect, I'm reading all of these for a long period of time, just some I understand and we let the engineers do theirs, Thanks a lot it's a clear view you use for my much understanding.

The government should hire animators in collaboration with the profs for educational purposes. The curriculum should include these animated subjects to clearly understand what they are teaching. We are in the modern world where books ain't enough to learn, and most importantly, is not enough to understand. I am an engineering college student and I learned more in this vid during this online classes. Thanks lesics!

[Saki]

I am an Enguhneer now after seeing this video! Off to build my first home!

[Ancovg]

This kind of footing I have never seen anywhere in my country but great to learn about different footings that exist.

[mohammadasad]

Finally lesics Started Civil Engineering Topics I Eagerly Waiting The Next Video.

[gypsysoulgypsy]

Engineering universities, all over the world, should pay you a hefty price for these invaluable and extremely well done animation videos. You're on another level, above the whole world of education.

[Faiselmoha]

Oh wow finally in my area of Civil Engineering, instead of Electrical Engineering and Physics :)
Thanks a lot, pls more so

[besacciaesteban]

Great video! I recommend using IS units alongside imperial, most of your potential viewers are from outside the usa

[KartikPlays]

Can't wait to see the second part of this video!!

[OKAZWA]

Happy new year and thank you for the info.

[illfatedgoodheart]

Lesics always restores the faith that engineering is interesting if it is taught rightly.

[cubedsensei]

Thank you so much for this really educational video. Keep on the great work

[satishbararia]

Very informative even for someone building his own humble house instead of skyscraper.

[krishanubhattacharjee]

This video is truly Please make more conceptual videos related to Civil engineering.

5:00 Now I understand why the footing in our newly built school building looked like this. Thanks for this informative video.
