Terzaghi developed equations to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity (qu) of shallow foundations under strip, square, and circular footings based on soil cohesion (c), effective stress (q), unit weight of soil (γ), and bearing capacity factors (Nc, Nq, Nγ). Later, Meyerhof and Hansen modified Terzaghi's equations to produce a more comprehensive bearing capacity equation.
