Ref: MS EN 1997-1 (Eurocode 7), Terzaghi & Meyerhof Methods
qu = c·Nc + γ·Df·Nq + 0.5·γ·B��Nγ (strip footing)
qu = c·Nc·sc·dc + γ·Df·Nq·sq·dq + 0.5·γ·B·Nγ·sγ·dγ (with shape & depth factors)
Method

Typical 16–20 kN/m³
Foundation Geometry
Depth below ground level
Width of strip/pad footing
Length (for shape factor). 0 = strip
