Which of the following statements is accurate concerning building footings?

  1. Footing problems are easily rectified.

  2. Footings are usually made of concrete.

  3. The extent of footing failure is easily ascertained.

  4. When a footing fails, any movement is restricted to the immediate area surrounding that footing.

The correct answer is: Footings are usually made of concrete.

A common misconception is that footing problems are easy to fix. However, footings are a crucial component of a building's foundation and any problems with them can lead to serious structural issues. Changing or repairing footings can be difficult and expensive, so it is important to ensure they are properly constructed from the beginning. Option C is incorrect because the extent of footing failure can vary and may not always be easily determined. Option D is also incorrect because if a footing fails, it can lead to movement and shifting in other areas of the building, not just the immediate vicinity.
