TL;DR: One that the authors will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing parallel program design a foundation as the reading material.
Abstract: Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing parallel program design a foundation as the reading material.

TL;DR: In this paper, a modern outlook of the problem of bearing capacity of shallow foundations is presented, incorporating all major contributions to the subject, along with best available solutions and appropriate numerical values of bearing capacities and coefficients.
Abstract: The paper presents a modern outlook of the problem of bearing capacity of shallow foundations, incorporating all major contributions to the subject, along with best available solutions and appropriate numerical values of bearing capacity factors and coefficients. It is shown that the greatest shortcoming of available theories lies in their unreserved assumption of incompressibility of the foundation soil. An attempt is made to formulate for the first time rational compressibility criteria for soils subjected to foundation loads. A set of tentative compressibility factors, to be used with the classical bearing capacity equation, are given. The paper includes an analysis of the effects on bearing capacity of roughness and vertical profile of foundation base, ground-water table, presence of adjacent footings and rate of loading.
