Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Cohesion Formula Elements

Variables
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion is a constant whose value depends upon the cohesion of soil.
Symbol: Nc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity
The Ultimate Bearing Capacity is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Symbol: qf
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Surcharge
Effective Surcharge also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Symbol: σ'
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a constant whose value depends upon surcharge.
Symbol: Nq
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Unit Weight of Soil
Unit Weight of Soil mass is the ratio of the total weight of soil to the total volume of soil.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: kN/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Width of Footing
Width of Footing is the shorter dimension of the footing.
Symbol: B
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight is a constant whose value depends upon unit weight of soil.
Symbol: Nγ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shape Factor Dependent on Unit Weight
Shape Factor dependent on Unit Weight is the factor in soil mechanics used in calculating bearing capacity.
Symbol: sγ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless

Shape Factor dependent on Cohesion
Shape Factor dependent on Cohesion is defined as ratio of the limit unit base resistance of a footing of any shape bearing on the soil surface to that of a strip footing on the soil surface.
Symbol: sc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cohesion
Cohesion is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.
Symbol: C
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be between 0 to 50.
