Volume Soil Cone Qu = 14.73 m3

Volume of Soil just above the footing (Vsoil) = 43.37 m3
Total Volume Soil (Vs) = 58.10 m3

then again in another calculation the footing should be checked for My, ey (Here calculation for My, ey has not been shown)

B For TWO WAY ECCENTRICITY (Biaxial Moment) , below eq 1 must be satisfied FIRST. Most tower has biaxial moment for single
footing / Pile. If eq 1) passes then use eq 2) to calculate the footing's 4 corner pressure, otherwise increase footing size.

Eq 1) If this don’t satisfy then increase footing size
