Hi,

These dimensions will depend of the characteristics of the soil in your city/state, roof loads, if the concrete blocks are reinforced masonry, freezing line, etc.

Regards,

The Depth is the thickness of the wall and Width 2 -2 1/2 times the thickness of the wall, check with your local building dept. as they will inspect before its poured.
