Bearing Pressure Minimum in Geotechnical Engineering Formulas

Bearing Pressure Minimum is the minimum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should produce shear failure in the soil. And is denoted by q_min. Bearing Pressure Minimum is usually measured using the Kilonewton per Square Meter for Pressure. Note that the value of Bearing Pressure Minimum is always negative.
