Regarding thread256-468265 : mar2805, the formula you are using also comes from Terzaghi's book, p. 124. The answer to your inquiry is detailed in the book Bowles Foundation Analysis and Design, p. 222 & around it.

The book has a very comprehensive explanation, so I won't repeat it here. [thumbsup2]
