I am currently a Civil PE working for a municipal water department. My primary responsibilities are all pretty much project-management related. I am quite content with my job, as i am allowed a large amount of freedom in determining how much design, contract prep and even inspection I perform...

Thank you for that source, the equation now returns believable values, up to a point. Increasing the tilt angle of the footing reduces the bearing capacity (as it should) up to about 50 degrees, then it begins to increases again for angles above about 50. Is this supposed to work this way? I am...

Hello, I am trying to calculate pipeline thrust block sizes using Hansen's bearing capacity equation, which I found in Foundation Analysis and Design by Joseph E. Bowles, fourth edition, around page 189. My problem is that, even with small base tilt angles, the base factors (b sub q, and b sub...

sorry, I didnt see the Geotech section when I posted this. I will post it there.

Hello, I am trying to calculate thrust block sizes using Hansen's bearing capacity equation, which I found in Foundation Analysis and Design by Joseph E. Bowles, fourth edition, around page 189. My problem is that, even with small base tilt angles, the base factors completely blow up. Anyone...
