Pouring a small header for a sitting wall?


Question:

Answers:
"Header" or FOOTER?

Is the wall to be load bearing? Is it simple in design?

I poured a Footer/slab to add on to a patio now enclosed with floor to ceiling commercially framed double pane glass, long ago.

I poured the footer at 12 inches wide, 24 inches deep, in Florida soil, then to the existing slab added rebar as well as rebar in the area at ground level the new slab addition would be poured into. The total add on was 18 inches out from the original slab x 12 ft. long. The slab add on was 8 inches thick/deep.

Floated it, Screeded it, removed the framing after an appropriate time, had the area enclosed, and 14 years later, no issues have come up.
