Effective area of a circular foundation
Effective area of a circular foundation
(OP)
As you know, load eccentricity decreases the ultimate vertical load that a footing can withstand. This effect is accounted for in bearing capacity analysis by reducing the effective area of the footing.
Does anyone know a solution for effective area in circular bases?
There is something in API PR2A-WSD, section C6.13, whch seems to be wrong!!

RE: Effective area of a circular foundation
Suggest that you make simplified and/or conservative assumptions to extend the theory with respect to rectangular/square footings to a circular area.
