Continuous concrete footings transition between elevations using a stepped profile with overlapping longitudinal reinforcement. Footing reinforcement matches continuous footing sizes and numbers, while dowels match wall reinforcement in grade, size, and quantity. Horizontal steps maintain a minimum depth of two times the dimension "d" with a maximum step height of one foot six inches. Lapping requires a Class 'B' lap splice with a minimum three-inch concrete cover.
