How do you calculate eccentric footing
E = m /q when eccentricity is known the above equation can be simplified as follows.The density of the concrete is used to calculate the self weight of the footing when the option is selected.Don't attempt at all to design a footi.The distribution of downward load has not been made clear in the original post.In the extreme case, q2 = 0, when e = b/6, and this gives the maximum value of eccentricity.
You can look up the recommended footing size, based on the size.The volume of trapezoidal footing (footing calculation) = rectangle / square cubic area (v1) + truncated pyramid area (v2) v = v1 +v2 v = volume of trapzodial footing.Let a= 0.8 m and b = 0.8m.Include footing weight as dead load.Calculate the total overturning moment m, measured at the bottom of the footing.
So, important points to remember:
