Bearing Capacity Meyerhof Calculator
Ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow strip footing on the Meyerhof (1963) base equation qu = c*Nc + q*Nq + 0.5*gamma*B*Ngamma with Nq = exp(pi*tan(phi))*tan^2(45 + phi/2), Nc = (Nq - 1)*cot(phi) and Meyerhof's Ngamma = (Nq - 1)*tan(1.4*phi). Base equation only: no shape or depth correction factors applied. c and q in kPa, gamma in kN/m3, B in m.
