Meyerhof’s step by step procedure:
Determine the effective dimensions of the foundation as :
B’ = effective width = B – 2e
L’ = effective length = L
Note:
› if the eccentricity were in the direction of the length of the foundation,
the value of L’ would be equal to L-2e and the value of B’ would be B.
› The smaller of the two dimensions (L’ and B’) is the effective width of the
foundation
