You should also check local building codes. The section on footings in Formwork for Concrete (ACI SP-4) says that when fabricated forms are omitted entirely and concrete is cast directly against the excavation, larger tolerances may apply.

Footing thickness should not be less than 40 cm. 7). Pile foundation should be used if soil bearing capacity is less than 24 kN/m3.

The contractor on our site is using footing formwork only when necessary (sandy excavated walls caving in). More than half of the footings are done without formwork.

A concrete mix of 1 part cement : 2 parts sand : 4 parts coarse aggregate (by volume) should be used for footings. Concrete must be placed within half an hour of mixing.

RE: Spread Footer on Fill It is done, but only if the fill is brought up and compacted in lifts. Bridge Abutments are sometimes built that way. It sounds like in your case (just pushed out from excavated materials) that it's a very risky situation. Just because it's not settling doesn't mean it's structurally sound.

All internal foundations are to be the same thickness and depth as the external wall foundations. Depth Depth of foundation excavation to be at least 600mm below ground level at completion. Width Foundation must be at least 3 times the width of the wall it supports. Thickness Concrete to be at least 300mm thick.

Make sure the edges are turned up so they form a tray. Also, check the joints to see that they overlap and are taped to protect the concrete from rising damp or chemicals in the ground. Bear in mind that foundation formwork plays a vital role in the construction of your concrete foundation.

Footing thickness - 8 to 12 inches. Footing depth - varies based on frost line and soil strength (some footings can be shallow, while other must be deep)
