Reinforcement configuration at a stepped continuous concrete footing. Footing dowels match the wall reinforcement in grade, size, and number typically, while continuous footing reinforcement matches in size and number. The stepped transition requires top reinforcement where applicable and incorporates a minimum three-inch cover. Class B lap splices are specified for the reinforcing bars, with specific dimensional requirements for horizontal and vertical offsets denoted as two times dimension H and minimum dimension d. The height of the step is limited to a maximum of one foot six inches.
