Where does the equation used for bearing pressure on the rectangular footing, p max = (2/3)*(Ptot / (y * footing width)) come from???? The answer using this is 2.7. y = resultant location.
This example is for eccentric loading on a rectangular foundation. I looked up the relevant chapter in CERM and there is an equation for p max, p max =(P/BL)*(1 + 6* eccentricity/B). If I apply this, the answer is close, 2.36, yet not quite the same.
Any guidance is appreciated!
Thanks.
