The form of equation proposed by Meyerhof (1963) is,

where,

= Bearing capacity factors for strip foundation,

c = unit cohesion,

= Shape factors,

= inclination factors for the load inclined at an angle α 0 to the vertical,

= Depth factors,

= effective unit weight of soil above base level of foundation,

= effective unit weight of soil below foundation base,

D = depth of the foundation.
