To find the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow footing, is it safe to use the bearing factors from the fe reference handbook for the general bearing factors. When I checked it with Terzaghi factors from Das Geo blue
Book it differs. The main factor that changes is Nq. I don't know why? So my question is if it does not mention terzaghi or meyorhof, what factors should I use. The general case or terzaghi case? Thanks
