This document provides a formula and explanation for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity (qult) of rectangular/square footings based on drained soil conditions. The formula considers factors like effective cohesion, effective internal friction angle, bulk unit weight, water unit weight, footing depth and dimensions, and groundwater table depth. It also includes bearing capacity factors and shape factors that depend on the soil's internal friction angle. Two examples are provided applying the calculation to specific soil and footing conditions.
