amplify moment by the column shear

[ADB]

what does it mean to "amplify the moment by the column shear by the footing thickness"?

Given Pu and Mu and footing thickness.

Is this referring to the fact that the shear at the base of the column is acting at (base of column) = (top of footing) and not at the bottom of the footing and therefore the column base shear will generate additional moment at the base of the footing = (Column Base Shear) x (Thickness of Footing) ?

@ McEng - I think you are answering a question that was not asked.

I'm pretty sure what I said is the answer to the original question.
