This concrete foundation detail shows an exterior footing supporting a shear wall above with pressure-treated sill plates and anchor bolts per specifications and the shear wall schedule. The slab-on-grade ties into the foundation stem wall with dowels matching the slab reinforcement size and spacing, with an optional cold joint located eight to twenty-four inches below the lowest adjacent grade. Continuous reinforcement runs through the footing and stem wall, maintaining three inches of concrete clearance. Exterior flatwork and approved finish grade are positioned relative to the top of the foundation.
