single footing, biaxial bending,soil tension! Adjust pressure?
(OP)
Pals
Occassionally I have footings with double bending and tension on some corners.
I usually model these using stiff springs and get rid of springs that have tension in them.
I usually end up with some area in compression, which I keep at about 75% of total area minimum(on fear of overturning)
Is there any manual method or any useful software that iteratively makes the foundation compression only?

Keep in mind that you might actually have a condition where you lose contact due to bending. Primarily occurs when there is a high moment on the footing.
