Bearing Capacity factors

Shape Factor

Fcs = 1+(B/L)(Nq/Nc)
Fqs = 1+(B/L)tan(Φ)
Fγs = 1-0.4(B/L)

Remarks For Df/B< 1


for Φ = 0° for Φ > 0
Fcd = 1+0.4(Df/B) Fcd = Fqd- (1-Fqd)/(NctanΦ)
Fqd = 1 Fqd = 1+ 2tanΦ(1-sinΦ)^2(Df/B)
Fγd = 1 Fγd = 1

For Df/B> 1
for Φ = 0° for Φ > 0
Fcd = 1+0.4ATAN(Df/B) Fcd = Fqd- (1-Fqd)/(NctanΦ)
Fqd = 1 Fqd = 1+ 2tanΦ(1-sinΦ)^2*ATAN(Df/B)
Fγd = 1 Fγd = 1

Inclination Factor

Fci & Fqi = (1- β/90)^2


Fγi = (1- β/Φ)^2

For,
Φ = 27.67 °
C = 0 Kpa

Df/B = 0.12987 <1 OK As L>>> B , so All shape facor will be
