ABSTRACT
The chart i!I Fig. 13.5 gives the relationsl!ips between Band Q. The value of qs may be obtained from Q for any given width B. The Q to be used must conform to Eqs (13.12), (13.13) and (13.14).
The chart is constructed for square footings of width B. For rectangular footings, the value of qs should be reduced in accordance with Eq. (13.10). The bearing pressures determined by this procedure correspond to a maximum settlement of 25 mm at the end of construction.
