Bearing Capacity Factor Dependent on Unit Weight given Dimension of Footing Formula Elements

Variables
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.
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
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal
Cohesion in Soil as Kilopascal 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
