This paper proposes to introduce an additional term in the Terzaghi trinomial equation for more accurate evaluation of strip and circular footing bearing capacity for any ratios of soil cohesion over soil specific weight. Some effects connected up with footing shape and circular footing solution for high values of internal friction angle are discussed.
