General EquationThe former equations are for continuous, square
and circular foundation only.They do not address the case of
rectangular foundations (0 < B/L < 1).Bearing Capacity of
Footings on SlopeFootings on slope will tend to reduce the
stability of the footings.The equation of ultimate bearing capacity
on slope from Foundation Analysis and Design by Joseph E. Bowles is
described below.The author suggests using the Hansen equation
modified to read as follow:
