ABSTRACT
Footings are frequently subjected to eccentric and inclined loads due to moments resulting from loadings due to the action of wind, water or earth pressures among several other possible sources. In practice, the design of such footings is usually conducted in two parts: an eccentric vertical load; and a centered, inclined load. The bearing capacity of the footing then obtained by analyzing the problem in two separate parts: (1) the bearing capacity of footing subjected to eccentric vertical loads; and (2) the bearing capacity of footing subjected to centered, inclined loads. The two values of obtained bearing capacities are superposed to get the bearing capacity of footing subjected to eccentric and inclined loads.
