The problem of large concentrated forces acting over limited areas of concrete is one of frequent occurence in civil engineering design. Steel base plates of stanchions over concrete footing, anchorages in post-tensioned concrete beams, shear keys in composite structres, concrete beams at bearing, bridge bearings over piers, concrete hinges and bearing blocks, beams over walls and concrete columns and pile heads, etc., are a few instances of bearing problems. The experimental studies for bearing strength of concrete were reported so far by previous investigators, and the formulars were recommended in codes of practice of various countries. In this study, the obtained results of the test are presented. The results show that the major testing parameters are the ratio of bearing area to the concrete area and the size of specimen.
