Preliminary Member Sizing  \n1.1. Footing Cross Sectional Dimensions  \nIn order to calculate the allowable net soil pressure, it is necessary to guess the footing thickness for a first trial in order to estimate the footing self-weight. Generally footing thickness of 1 to 1.5 times the wall thickness will be adequate. Assuming the footing thickness is equal to the thickness of the wall (tf = 12 in.) .  \nThe allowable net soil pressure is equal to the allowable soil pressure minus the self-weight of the footing and soil weight over the footing:  \nqn 􀀠 qa 􀀐 weightfooting 􀀐 weightsoil 􀀠 5 ksf 􀀐 􀀋1 ft 􀁵0.15 kcf 􀀌􀀐 􀀋􀀋5 ft 􀀐1 ft 􀀌􀁵0.12 kcf 􀀌 􀀠 4.37 ksf  \nThis value is the balance of allowable soil pressure available to resist applied loads (dead, live, etc.) from the wall.
