Design References for Circular Foundations
(OP)
Can anyone point me in the direction of some good references for designing circular foundations. I am interested in learning the proper way to calculate bearing pressures due to overturning moments and detailing radial reinforcement. The foundations would be for use with things like water tanks, monopoles, etc. Thanks in advance...

Here's a linky to the circular tank book. The rectangular tank book doesn't seem to be available.

I was looking at Roark (6th Ed.), Chapter 10 covers circular plates but not a fully supported plate. Perhaps one of the cases could work. Chapter 13 covers bearing and shear but I didn't see anything that quite resembled a footing.

Before you doing anything creative, make sure the code likes the artwork you are trying to wow the world with.
