Inclination Factors

(OP)
I am  using meyernofs bearing capacity equation and meyernofs inclination factors to calculate bearing capacity . The angle of internal friction is zero. How does this effect calculating iy?

Would it be counted as zero and the shape of the foundation not counted in the bearing capacity equation?

 

RE: Inclination Factors

From recollection - in clayey soils, with phi=0, the inclination factor is 1 (it doesn't change the "base" computation for "gamma") - however, the "gamma" par tof the equation turns into zero because N"gamme" = 0.
