Method Selection Decision Tree

Bearing Capacity

Undrained (clay)?
  ├── Yes → Brinch Hansen general formula (DNV-RP-C212 Sec 5)
  │         Nc = 5.14 for strip, shape/depth/inclination factors
  └── No (sand) → Terzaghi/Meyerhof drained bearing capacity
                   Nq, Nγ from friction angle

Pile Capacity

Soil type?
  ├── Clay → Alpha method (API RP 2GEO Sec 6.4)
  │          f = α × su; α from su/σ'v ratio
  ├── Sand → Beta method (API RP 2GEO Sec 6.5)
  │          f = K × σ'v × tan(δ); K from Table 6.5.3-1
  └── Layered → Sum unit shaft resistance per layer
