Hansen's General Bearing Capacity Equation:

q_ult = cN_cs_cd_ci_cb_cg_c + qN_qs_qd_qi_qb_qg_q + 0.5γBN_γs_γd_γi_γb_γg_γ

c: Cohesion of soil

N_c, N_q, N_γ: Bearing capacity factors

s_i: Shape factors

d_i: Depth factors

i_i: Load inclination factors

b_i: Base inclination factors

g_i: Ground slope factors

γ: Effective unit weight of soil
