Therefore, the most viable option is to adopt foundation blocks. Unless the acting loads are very high, then we should consider the punching shear effect, and an isolated footing is the most suitable option. The footing has a trapezoidal shape, while the foundation block has a quadrangular prism shape. The footing reinforcement has a "chicken foot" shape. The foundation block does not necessarily need to be reinforced; its dimensioning must be done for this purpose. When reinforced, the shape is that of a "cage". Therefore, the "cage" shape is not a footing, but a foundation block. We also have the capping block, which is not a type of foundation, but a block that transfers loads from the columns to the piles it caps.
