Shallow Foundation - General Bearing Capacity Equation PDF
q = c N F F F + qN F F F + BγN F F F
where:
Bearing Capacity Factors
c’ = cohesion
q = effective surcharge at the bottom of the foundation N = tan 45 + e
γ = unit weight of the soil N = N − 1 cotϕ
THE GENERAL BEARING CAPACITY EQUATION B = width of the foundation (diameter for circular foundation) N = 2 N + 1 tanϕ′
CE 522 Nc, Nq, Nγ = bearing capacity factors (or use Table 12)
Fcs, Fqs, and Fγs = shape factors
Fcd, Fqd, and Fγd = depth factors
Fci, Fqi, and Fγi = load inclination factors
