    Terzaghi developed modified bearing capacity factors for shallow foundations based on the shape and depth of the foundation. The factors (Nq, Nγ, Nc) account for the non-uniform stress distribution under shallow foundations. Deeper foundations experience more uniform stress distributions, so Terzaghi's modified factors provide a better estimate of the ultimate bearing capacity for shallow foundations.
