Bearing Pressures for Rectangular Footings with Biaxial Uplift

I'm look for this article by Kenneth E. Wilson. It was published in the February 1997 issue of the Journal of Bridge Engineering. If anyone has a .pdf of it, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

See attached. Just use + +, + -, - - and - + to get your 4 corner pressures. You should be able to match the numbers shown.

Thanks, but I wanted to look at the full paper. I found most of it on the web, but a few pages are missing. We analyze existing foundations and most will have the eccentricity outside the kern.

Sorry, I don't have that paper. I used the equation from "Structural Foundation Designer's Manual", 2006, by Curtin, Shaw, Parkinson & Goldin. It is a great reference.
