Help.
I have some experience with under pinning footings but not with adding 100 kips to an existing footing. See attached PDF. They want to add a crane column to an existing footing. Can I just dowel into the existing footing and add footing size and check the dowels for shear and bending? Or do I need to underpin?
It is complicated.
