I have a vertically compound basement wall to which I had a footing attached. The footing was created using a modification of the offset retaining wall footing. I offset the footing so that it was centered on the concrete wall. The wall construction included the 2x4 frost wall on the inside. This was the reason for the offset.
All was fine until I modifed the basic walls inside the compound wall so that I could drag the bottom of the 2x4 frost wall to top of slab while the concrete core remained at top of footing. This makes the footing behave unpredictably. In some cases it gets thicker by an obscure amount, in other cases it remains as it was, in some cases it gets a slanted top.
Is there a better method of getting a footing to recognize only the core of a wall type?
