P does not exceed the design bearing capacity.

• Allowable toe pressures for concrete
monoblock foundations may be 25 per cent
higher than the specified bearing pressures
shown.

Pressure diagram?
The pressure diagram does not
extend under the full length of the
base.
The length of the pressure diagram
can be found from the equivalent
load diagram :
In the case of compression over part of the base the
magnitude of the maximum earth pressure can be
determined using simple elastic analysis.
