The obtained results for a vertically loaded footing are slightly underestimated with that available in the literature. The computed bearing capacity values for a foundation with inclined loading compare favorably for lower inclination angle but slightly overestimates for higher load inclination angle, concerning that obtained using the available formula in the literature."]
