Hello,
I need to calculate the concrete foundation for the steel fence. I know that these are relatively small foundations/posts and that the dimensions of the foundation of the fence are often adopted according to some guidelines, but I should also attach a calculation that will prove the load-bearing capacity and stability of the foundation and the soil as well. This is neither a classic shallow foundation nor a pile, but belongs to a type of 'deep foundation' whose stresses at the contact of the foundation and the soil looks like this (picture below).
Does anyone have an example of the calculation of this type of foundation, preferably from a standard (ideally European) or a book that I can refer to?
