Chapter 6, Problem 6.8QPP

Consider the footing and loads in Problem 6.7, except that the overturning moment now acts at a $45°$ angle from the side of the footing (i.e., it acts diagonally across the top of the footing). Determine whether the resultant force acts within the kern. If it does, then compute the bearing pressure at each corner of the footing and show the pressure distribution in a sketch similar to Figure 6.17 Q. Determine the size of the equivalent uniformly loaded footing and compute the equivalent bearing pressure.
