Notes : a) if Heel Pressure is zero then the stress over the bottom of the footing is triangular and acts over the length of 3 times distance "x" b) The inertia masses of the abutment and the soil sittng on the heel is included in the lateral forces acting on the abutment. The forces are calculated by multiplying the seismic masses by the Peak Ground Acceleration Coefficient.
