Reaction pressure at the base of the foundation distributed in a trapezoid
pattern across the full width (D) of the foundation.

b.) If e > D/6, then:

q min  0

Reaction pressure at the base of the foundation is distributed in a triangular

pattern across the effective width (D') of the foundation.

D'  D  2e

Due to the distribution of reaction pressure, a new ultimate bearing

capacity called, qult', has to be recalculated using the same procedures as
mentioned in Section 8.3.1.1, but based on D' instead of D.

To calculate the Factor of Safety:

q ult '
F .S . 
q max
or
Q ult '
F .S . 
Q
Where, Qult' = qult'  D'  B

8.3.2.3 Vertical Load With Shear Load (Q + P)

The shear load (P) has two impacts to the shallow foundation calculation:
1. It generates load inclination  Al = tan-1 (P/Q)  which affects vertical
bearing capacity calculation (see Section 8.3.1.1).
2. Footing base sliding calculation becomes necessary. The sliding
resistance (Pf) can be calculated by the following equation:

Pf  k f (W  Q)
