Geotechnical Design › Shallow footing bearing capacity
Shallow footing bearing capacity – EC7 Annex D, Vesić, Hansen, Meyerhof, Terzaghi
Bearing resistance, sliding and eccentricity of pad and strip footings, drained or undrained.
Calculation method
Bearing capacity factors with shape, depth and inclination factors (EN 1997-1 Annex D, Vesić, Hansen, Meyerhof or Terzaghi, after Bowles); effective width B′ = B − 2e; EC7 DA1 or factor of safety.
