If so, at least with respect to settlement, the unloading of earth pressure by basement excavation can be replaced by a foundation pressure, in part, with little if any settlement effect.
In any case, most cases of "allowable" bearing capacity deal with "allowable" settlement, rather than bearing capacity as most texts explain it, tied to soil rupture. For the case of deeper footings, the ratio of increased soil pressure to existing soil pressure also affects resulting settlement. For the deeper you go, the less the settlement with same footing pressure, usually. There are methods out there dealing with how to compute this.
