Footing slab with no connection between slab and footing

Footing slabs are supported by strip footings. They require two separate concrete pours and can only be used on Class A and Class S sites.

One configuration is the footing slab with no connection between the slab and the footing. This is the preferred option because it is simple to construct and relatively economic. It is ideal for flat sites.

The soil must have a minimum bearing capacity of 100 kPa. No reinforcement is required in the edge beam.
