Ground bearing pressure

Ground bearing pressure

Ground bearing pressure

(OP)
At work i have been asked to design a foundation were vehicles drive over. The worst case is the vehicle wheel on the edge of the foundation. It is central in the other direction.
The eccentricity is outside the middle third therefore 2/3 x Rv/x formula does not apply as x is zero. If there another standard formula which can be used? I have looked in a few text books but none give a method of calculating the bearing pressure when x=0.  Or what analysis can be undertaken.

Any help much appreciated.
