Bearing Capacity Formulae For Clays
(OP)
Assuming phi = o and saturated clay soil.
If a square foundation is at a depth of D, do we need to put bouyancy unit weight of soil to calculate(gama.D.Nq component?
q = 5.5 C Nc + (gama).D.Nq

Don't forget your safety factor - typically taken as 3.0.

Ok if I decided to take into account the depth of overburden in clay materials, should it be (gama)'D or (gama)D? Thank you again.

Regarding the qusetion of how to handle the depth of burial, if you are looking at undrained conditions, you have to use total loads. So, that'd be gammaD.
