The spacing of bars in footing is determined by the size of the footing, the type of soil, and the type of reinforcement. Generally, the distance between horizontal bars should not exceed 24 inches, with vertical bars spaced between 12 to 18 inches apart.
The spacing may also be adjusted depending on the magnitude of load the footing has to bear. It is important to consult a structural engineer or experienced contractor to ensure the proper spacing of bars in footing.
