Abstract The analytical solution for the ultimate bearing capacity of a circular shallow foundation is studied. The characteristics of existing assumptions, the calculation method, and the yield criterion of the calculation method for the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow circular foundation are examined. With the assumption that the global shearing deformation surface of the foundation obeys the sliding surface of Prandtl-Reissner's classic theory, the destruction soil under the foundation is an indeformable rigid-plastic body, and the failure surface obeys the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. Based on the static equilibrium condition of the rigid-plastic body and considering the frictional resistance part σ tan φ of the failure surface, the theoretical solution for the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow circular foundation is derived and compared with those of Vesic's semi-empirical equation and other existing analytic equations. Comparison results show that the bearing capacity coefficients Nc and Nq can be increased if the frictional resistance part σ tan φ of the failure surface is considered, but the variation of bearing capacity coefficient with the internal friction angle of soil are different. Furthermore, the presented theoretical solution, which is a revised calculation method for the ultimate bearing capacity of a shallow circular foundation, is similar to those of Vesic's semi-empirical equation and other analytic equations.
