Errata

The following error was printed in: Smith, C. C. (2005). Complete limiting stress solutions for the bearing capacity of strip footings on a Mohr-Coulomb soil. Géotechnique 55, No. 8, 607–612. In eqs 7 and 8, the symbol μ was used instead of the ∓ symbol. The correct versions of the equations are as below.

On the left hand side of eqs 10, 11 and 15 the differential operator on the numerator should be the ordinary differential operator d rather than the partial differential operator ∂. The correct versions of the equations are as below.
