1. What is the function of a footing?

Footings transfer the live and dead loads of the building to the soil over a large enough area so that neither the soil nor the building will move. In areas where frost occurs, footings prevent frost from moving the building. Foundations transfer loads from the building to the footings. Foundations may also act as retaining walls, resisting lateral soil pressure, for example.
