If we erect the steel for a column and footing, let's take 6 bars for the column. So we need to bend (90 °) these bars near the bottom and insert them into the footing. BUT BARS INSIDE THE FOOTING SHOULD BE MORE THAN 42 Times the diameter of the bar.

Let's consider our bar is 16mm, so we need to insert 42 *16= 672 mm into the footing, obviously, its counted from the bend or you can say the outer edge of the column.

And we have to do it with all 6 bars which we consider here.

What do they mean by inner edge of column? Is it the Top of Column?

Please explain.

Column bars transfer load to bottom of footing slab through compression action.

So the compression development length shall govern here which is normally 18xD and 21xD based on steel grade and concrete strength.
