To obtain the pressure distribution model on the sole plate of semi-rigid light steel column footing, the deflection formulas of beams with free ends on elastic foundation subjected to arbitrarily concentrated load and arbitrarily trapezoidal load were developed by applying the Winkler model of elastic foundation beam and initiate-parameter expressions of deformation and internal force by presetting boundary condition and calculating with Maple software. The sole plate of semi-rigid square steel tube column footing was converted into elastic foundation beam which is supported by concrete foundation, the mechanical model of the sole plate subjected to eccentric load was obtained, and the theoretical solution of pressure distribution on the sole plate was presented. Then the theoretical solution was compared with the numerical solution via an example. The results show that the two solutions meet well with each other, and there is much great difference between the pressure distribution on sole plate of semi-rigid light steel column footing and the linear pressure distribution model in common use. As a result, the semi-rigid column footing stiffness would be overestimated by using linear pressure distribution model. The fruits presented in this paper are useful and convenient to the design of semi-rigid light steel column footing.
