![]()
Depth factors
for t<b
![]()
for t>b
![]()
Inclination factors
![]()

![]()
where: | su | - | total cohesion of soil |
b | - | width of the foundation | |
l | - | length of the foundation | |
d | - | depth of the footing bottom | |
δ | - | angle of deviathon of the resultant force from the vertical direction | |
α | - | slope of the footing bottom | |
q | - | stress at the level of the foundation joint due to the foundation depth |
