bearing capacity
shallow foundations induce both compressive and shear stresses in the
enough, shear stresses may exceed the shear strength of the soil, which
causes bearing capacity failure.
The load settlement curve does not have a dramatic break and for
punching shear, the bearing capacity is often defined as the first
major nonlinearity in the load-settlement curve (open circle).

most common ones are Terzaghis method and Vesics method.

footing shown in the figure will
support the exterior wall of a
new industrial building. The
underlying soil is an undrained

The effective area method for two way eccentricity becomes a little more
complex than what is suggested above. It is discussed in the subsequent
