I have a situation where I have an overhead door jamb right adjacent the free edge of the concrete at a door buck location.
Can anyone provide me a reference on how to calculate concrete bearing capacity adjacent the free edge where the failure plane is shearing towards the free edge as shown in the sketch below?
The factored gravity loads are not too high (at 13kN), but I'm concerned that a diagonal failure plane shown below may develop.
Thank you.
