Manual design of isolated RCC footing is a very tedious job. It demands experienced knowledge of reinforced cement concrete behavior under axial load and bending moment. A less experienced (new) engineer feel complex to analyze and design the isolated RCC footing under various types of load. Even though, check for safety against one-way shear, two-way shear, flexure failure, bending stress and development length is another difficult task. To minimize all the above mentioned complexity, soft computing technique like artificial neural network approach is adopted. Initially, optimized results of different set of input parameters are generated manually! Here, column size, axial load, safe bearing capacity of soil, characteristic compressive strength of concrete, yield strength of steel reinforcement are used as a input parameters. And depth, breadth, length, percentage of steel reinforcement is used as output parameters. Feed forward, supervised, single layered Artificial Neural Network is
