The term Footing is used in conjunction with shallow foundation commonly.

A Footing is the part of foundation or a foundation unit in brick work masonry or concrete under the base of walls or columns for the purpose of distributing the load over a large area. A Footing or a shallow foundation is place immediately below the lower part of super structure which transfers the load directly to the soil.

The footing is below the foundation and provides better stabilization and angering of I-beams
