Chapter 1, Introduction: Foundation Engineering Formula Review
This document summarizes various formulas related to foundation engineering. It covers topics like passive and active earth pressures, bearing capacity of shallow foundations, and stability of earth retaining structures. Some key formulas presented are:
- Passive earth pressure for inclined backfill is Pp = Kp * γH, where Kp depends on the angle of inclination and internal friction angle.
- Active earth pressure for inclined retaining walls is Pa = Ka * γH2, where Ka depends on the angle of inclination and wall friction angle.
- Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation for shallow foundations is qu = cNγ + qNq + γBNc, where factors Nc, Nq, Nγ depend on internal friction
