where d is the design friction angle between the base of the foundation. According to 6.5.3(10), d

may be assumed equal to the design value of the effective critical state angle of shearing resistance
'cv;d , for cast-in-situ concrete foundations and equal to 2/3
for smooth precast foundations. In
'cv;d
this example it is assumed the foundation was cast-in-situ, so that

d=2/3 'cv;d. and it was assumed

that 'cv,d = 'd.
