Standard analysis

By default the solution proposed by J. Brinch – Hansena is used, where the bearing capacity of foundation soil follows from:

where:

coefficients of bearing capacity: for: φ > 0
                         for: φ = 0
coefficients of shape of foundation:
coefficients of influence of depth of foundation:
coefficients of slope of loading:
coefficients of slope of footing bottom:
coefficients of influence of slope of terrain:

Notation of angles and coefficients b,g

where: c - cohesion of soil
q0 - equivalent uniform loading accounting for the influence of foundation depth
d - depth of footing bottom
γ - unit weight of soil above the footing bottom
b - width of foundation
γ - unit weight of soil
Nc,Nd,Nb - coefficient of bearing capacity
sc,sd,sb - coefficients of shape of foundation
dc,dd,db - coefficients of influence of foundation depth
ic,id,ib - coefficients of influence of slope of loading
gc,gd,gb - coefficients of influence of slope of terrain
φ - angle of internal friction of soil
l - length of foundation
δ - angle of deviation of the resultant force from the vertical direction
β - slope of terrain
α - slope of footing bottom
