Calculate the weight of the footing by using the following equation:

Here, is the weight of footing, is the unit weight of concrete, L is the length of
footing, B is the width of footing, and D is the depth of the footing.

Substitute for , 5 ft for L, 5 ft for B, and 2 ft for D.

Calculate the eccentricity of bearing pressure distribution by using the following

equation:

Here, e is the eccentricity of bearing pressure, M is the applied moment load, P is the
applied vertical load, and is the weight of footing.

Substitute for , for M, and for P.

Check the resultant force acts within the middle third of the footing.

That is ,

Substitute 5 ft for B.

Therefore, the resultant force acts of the footing.

Determine minimum bearing pressure of footing.

Here, e is the eccentricity of bearing pressure, P is the column load, A is the base area of
footing, is the pore water pressure along base of foundation, and is weight of the
footing.

Substitute for e, for , for A, for , and for .

Therefore, the minimum bearing pressure of footing is .

Determine the maximum bearing pressure of footing.

Here, e is the eccentricity of bearing pressure, P is the column load, A is the base area of
footing, is the pore water pressure along base of foundation, and is weight of the
footing.

Substitute for e, for , for A, for , and for .

Therefore, the maximum bearing pressure of footing is .

Draw the distribution of bearing pressure.

Calculate the dimensions of equivalent uniformly loaded footing.

Substitute 0.44 for , and 5 ft for B.

Substitute 0.44 for , and 5 ft for L.

Therefore, the dimensions of the equivalent uniformly loaded footing are

.

Calculate the equivalent bearing pressure.

Substitute for , for , and for .

Therefore, the equivalent bearing pressure is .
