At what point should you consider flecture in a footing?
At what point should you consider flecture in a footing?
(OP)
I briefly looked in the ACI code to determine when to design for flecture in a shallow footing but havent found anything as of yet.
I would imagine you would begin adding flectural reinforcement when a minimum moment or stress is reached..
Any guidence would be appreciated. Thanks.

K = [E(ftg)/E(soil)]*(1-mu(soil)^2)*[raft thickness/raft radius]^3.
Someone recently gave a download site for the book - I've found it again: http://www.ce.ncsu.edu/usucger/PandD/PandD.htm
