ch3 (Table3 5)

1) The document presents shape, depth, inclination, ground, and base factors for use in Hansen or Vesic bearing capacity equations. 2) It provides definitions for various parameters used to calculate the factors, including shape factors, depth factors, inclination factors, ground factors, and base factors. 3) Notes are included on the proper use and combination of the different factors, as well as on determining the type of friction angle to use based on the length-to-breadth ratio of the footing.
