I have a study case for existing three story concrete apartment. Extension for building has been done by using steel material. Footings for steel columns are constructed by inserting it 300mm-400mm in the plain concrete footing size of 800mm x 800mm x 800mm ( l x b x d ). No shear stud has been provided. Only a steel plate is used in the base of steel column. Is it safe to have that kind of footing for a residential apartment? What precautionary measurements should be taken in order to make it safe? Is there any example for that kind of footing I can find somewhere? Thanks!
