The document discusses the calculation of soil bearing pressure for footing design. It provides equations to calculate the total footing area in compression or not in compression based on the eccentricity of the vertical service load. It notes that numerical solutions are needed if eccentricity exists in both directions. It also discusses determining reinforcement and stresses for the footing, with minimum bottom reinforcement of #5 bars at 12 inches.

Soil Bearing Soil-bearing pressure should be computed for footing design and checked against the allowable pressure using the following formula: Total footing area in compression (e b/6): ) b e 1 (6 A P SB (Equation 4) Total footing area not in compression (e > b/6):

3a (b / 2 e) 2P SBmax (Equation 5)
SB = 0 at 3 (b /2 - e) (Equation 6) where, e = eccentricity of vertical service load caused by horizontal service load a = size of footing perpendicular to direction of horizontal load b = size of footing parallel to direction of horizontal load P = total vertical service load (exchanger or vessel, pier, footing, and soil) A = area of footing 4.9.5 If eccentricity exists in both directions, the equations in paragraph 4.9.4 do not apply. Numerical solutions can be found in many soil mechanics textbooks. Commercial software is also available for such calculations. Figure C is a design aid that provides graphical results based on accurate numerical solutions. 4.9.6 Reinforcement and Stresses The strength design factored moment and shear should be figured on a unit width strip assuming a simple cantilever. The critical section for moment and diagonal tension shear should be taken at the pier or column face. If shear is excessive, the strength design factored shear should be rechecked using the critical section for shear specified in ACI 318. The resulting reinforcing steel should be placed continuously across the entire footing. The minimum amount of bottom reinforcement is #5 at 12 inches c/c. 4.9.7 Top Reinforcement

Except where seismic effects create tensile stresses, top reinforcement in the footing is not necessary if the factored tensile stress at the upper face of the footing does not exceed the flexural strength of structural plain concrete, as follows: ft = 5(fc)1/2 (Equation 7) where, ft = flexural strength of structural plain concrete, psi fc = compressive strength of concrete, psi
