Thank you for posting your query.

The bearing strength of concrete is simply the compressive strength of the concrete and the ratio of the total surface area to the load bearing area (known as bearing ratio). Clause 6.7 in Eurocode 2 provides an expression to calculate this.

Should you need further assistance, do let us know.
