Where

b = diameter of round post or footing or diagonal dimension of square post or footing D = depth of embedment in earth in feet (m) but not over (3658 mm) for computing lateral pressure. h = distance in feet (m) from ground surface to point of application of P. P = applied lateral force in pounds (kN). S1 = allowable lateral soil-bearing pressure as set forth in Table 1806.2 based on a depth of one third the depth of embedment (kPa). b = From table 1806.2 lateral bearing S1 A D = = = 0.849 m 31.400 kPa per meter@3000psf (equivalent to 150kPa) footing vertical allowable pressure 16.223 kPa 16 223 kP 0.226 1.52 m ok
