For the case of eccentric footing, and maximum length
of the footing is predefined, the chart is outlining the procedure in
order to define the method of analysis. Flexural equation is simply used
when lower value of the bearing pressure is compression. However, soils
do not take any tension, and thus if the lower value of the pressure is
less than zero, static procedures (equilibrium) equations must be used
in order to magnify the lager value of the pressure to offset the
omission of the tension zone.
