Thanx for a very informative post.
My question is - how would you model this beam in a software?
Would you use it as a linnear support(a narrow strip foundation) and assume it carries some gravity load to the ground
or you would only use isolated footing as a support and model the beam as just a connection between them.
Im guessing if there are walls on top of the beam it would be a strip footing, but what if there are no load bearing walls eg. steel industrial hall

Ivan.
