No, Strap Beam is typically used when there is non-uniform soil pressure beneath a neighbor footing, and we use Strap Beam to connect that neighbor footing to an internal footing to achieve uniform soil pressure beneath the neighbor footing.

Thank you for your response. So, what is the common name for the member that prevents or resists differential settlement? Are there any specific sectional requirements for that type of member that we must follow in order to avoid differential settlement?

Hello Engineers, I have a question about a structural member known as a "Grade Beam," which is commonly used to resist differential settlement between footings. I created a simple ETABS model to determine whether the "Grade Beam" should eliminate or resist footings settlement. The results...

Hello Engineers!, I have an inquiry please, If we were making an assessment for a raft foundation and The stresses exceeded the Soil bearing capacity. (Let say that soil bearing capacity was 150 kPa according to the soil report results) So Since the geotechnical engineer Use safety factor of...
