Rotation of a Pad Footing
Rotation of a Pad Footing
(OP)
Im wondering if anyone has a paper on rotation of a pad footing with e>B/6 i.e. part of footing is detached from the soil.
I know that Bowles (5th edition) has an article on rotation of a pad footing but it assumes the base has full contact with the ground.

The footing is under static load (no earthquake loads).
See illustration.

But I'm faced with having to build footings adjacent to this bad detail.
Surprisingly the maximum bearing pressure is still less than the maximum allowable pressure, but the wall has tilted and caused some damage inside the building.
From site measurements its out of plumb by about 40mm (a bit less than 2 inches) but Im abit concerned it may tilt further, hence my question to the forum.
Oh Hokie66 how I wish you would have been the designer for that building !!
