This study reports the results of experimental work on the reinforced concrete of the square footings on vertically loaded pile supports. Twelve square footings were tested, and the variables involved in them are the position of piles and the ratio of reinforcement. The results of this study are summarized as follows ; 1) The final failures of the square footings are shearing styles. 2) The initial cracking loads, the yielding loads, and the ultimate cracking loads of the square footings are not influenced by the ratio of reinforcement. 3)the models(MTH,DTH) are lower than the models(MTL, DTL) in the displacements of the central points and the strains. but, theses values are not influenced by the position of piles.
