It is well known at the time of analysis and designing the load transfer part and load dispersion member plays an important role normally the structure and design for gravity loads which is considered to be vertically downward does the total load of superstructure is transmitted through the substructure putting the stability of the footing depend upon the perfect analysis and design considering the soil underneath it the behavior of the soil it changes with the change in season and thus its behavior with the contact structures is the properties of black cotton soil show large variation the study in this dissertation is done to analyze the effect of seasonal variation of black cotton soil on footing.Cases analyze case 1 for summer case 2 winter case 3 rainy for the same footing size and over acting load it is observed that in winter season the soil exerts more pressure on the footing where as the race against sliding and overturning in rainy season by 3 times even the amount of Steel requirement is three times more for the same footing for rainy season as compared to winter season does the importance of seasonal variation while analyzing and designing is necessary.
