This document discusses shallow foundation formulation and calculating foundation contact pressure. It outlines three cases for determining the effective width of a foundation based on the dimensions of the foundation base. The effective length is the larger of the two base dimensions. The effective width is then either the full width, half width, or a calculated reduced width depending on the relative sizes of the base dimensions.
