Design Ratios in Concrete Foundation Under Highly Eccentric Loading
Design ratio for the serviceability limit state design for highly eccentric loading of a concrete foundation
The image shows the design ratio for the serviceability limit state design for highly eccentric loading (SE7800) of a concrete foundation. The analysis evaluates the location of the resultant force within the foundation area. As eccentricity increases, the resultant shifts toward the foundation edge, causing the soil pressure to be distributed unevenly. The displayed design ratio indicates the extent to which the allowable eccentricity is being utilized. If the limit value is exceeded, partial uplift may occur, leading to impermissible tensile stresses in the soil joint.
