Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Surcharge for Rectangular Footing Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil
Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Symbol: qfc
