Detailed Results

Formula Reference

Bearing Capacity: qult = cNcscdcic + qNqsqdqiq + 0.5γB'Nγsγdγiγ

Net Ultimate: qult,net = qult,gross - q

Allowable: qallow = qult / FS

Eccentricity: ex = |My| / P, ey = |Mx| / P

Effective Dimensions: B' = B - 2ex, L' = L - 2ey

Corner Pressure: qcorner = P/(BL) ± 6Mx/(BL²) ± 6My/(LB²)

Sliding: FS = (P tan δ + ca A) / H
