Consider the simplest case of a shallow foundation subjected to a central vertical load. The footing is founded at a
Terzaghi (1943) used the same form of equation as proposed by Prandtl (1921) and extended his theory to take into account
The bearing capacity Eq. (12.6) developed by Terzaghi is for a strip footing under general shear failure. Eq. (12.6) has
The theoretical equations developed for computing the ultimate bearing capacity qu of soil are based on the assumption that the
Terzaghi (1943) developed Eq. (12.6) based on the assumption that the soil is incompressible. In order to take into account the
