Design of Toe
The load on the toe is primarily the result
of the soil pressure distribution on the
bottom of the footing acting upward direction.
The toe is analysed as a cantilever beam
with the soil on top of the toe is conservatively
neglected.

According to ACI Code, a dead load factor of 1.7

should be used for horizontal earth pressure and
for live load. While 1.4 is used for dead load. The
weight of footing reduces the effect of the
horizontal earth pressure, a factor of 0.90 is used
for footing dead load. (ACI Code,section 9.204)
